Holy **** jspAMG is a complete and utter douchebag.
I want to sue ACG and Weistec for the man-hour I just put into reading this thread.
After that I'm going to throw my computer monitor in the crusher to save myself from reading more of this drek.
Jim, there's weird, and there's being an *******. You are not the former, you are the latter. A custom build runs over and you cry about it to anyone who will listen? How the hell did you get ahead in this world? You know what? Don't answer that, I can't get into pissing contests with crybabies.
A month to supercharge a C63 is NOTHING. It takes time, shipping parts takes time, the work takes time. God man my head hurts.

I see him walking toward the camera... with a big remote button in his hand. His car blurred in the backround under a crusher. He presses the button and it lowers slowly. Just as it breaks the windshield flash to credits and play Rage Against The Machine "Bulls On Parade" song.
The End

If there are better cams, then they will be made. Everything was once not available. After this tests some limits, expect the motor to be static until the end of the year, then it will be removed from the car and non bolt-on modifications will be started. 
Don't everyone be so worried. I really don't care if we make some mistakes along the way and have to backtrack. And if we have an engine failure, they make more of them. Relax, lets see where it goes.

Not to add fuel to the fire, but seriously:
Less the one month later he is ready to pull the plug and have the car destroyed.
Jim, you need to take your own advice.

Well we know thats not gonna happen. But if it did it would happen at the very end of the movie. About the 14 min mark right before the credits rolled.

I prefer the alternate ending that they would offer only on the DVD...He drives the car into the car crusher but then his seatbelt get stuck and he doesn't get out in time.

Yes, the pieces are coming from different vendors, and the labor to pull it all together takes time, but none of this build (at least from the specs given so far) is custom, one-off, never-been-done-before type stuff as best I can tell. The ECU tuning might need a few tweaks, maybe... but that should be about it.
If you bought an e92 M3, then had a shop install a VF S/C kit, RPi exhaust, some coilovers and wheels... would you call it a "custom build"? Not sure I would (IMHO, of course).

CH, just wanted to clarify this one point. AFAIK, everything going into this project is a bolt-on piece of hardware from vendors' catalogs of regularly offered items. Weistec's M156 blower kit, their M156 heads, then there are the exhaust parts, wheels, suspension, diff, etc. None of that stuff is custom.

Geeez, this thread is turning into one of those TV soap operas: "As the Engine Turns" or "All My Mods".
Seriously though, I wish the OP the best of luck with getting his car done. I know that James and Peter at ACGSD will do their best to make it happen.

Any time you take a car from stock to "SEMA" (or not, anymore, as punishment for not accommodating the owner's timeline) you're building a custom car. There's nothing in the definition of the word that says parts need to be made in Hephaestus' forge with an adamantium hammer. It's being made to your specifications with numerous non-standard parts.
