Horsepoweraddict review, good and bad
I am considering getting work done by Horsepoweraddict in Delaware. I have done numerous searches, and seeing a lot of good reviews on this shop. I have an 8 hour commute with my baby on a trailer behind. I want to know from any member that has dealt with this shop their honest opinion. If you don't want to post here, please pm me.

Well, if you've done any searching, you probably saw my thoughts on the shop. I was a little iffy about the idea of going to a shop without too many reviews, but I decided the cam install special was too good of a price to pass up and the reviews I did read were positive.
The shop doesn't look like much. If you're looking for a polished looking shop, you won't find it here. I guess you have to start somewhere, right?
The good news is that Josh is super friendly and reasonable. He also does great work. There are other alternative shops in the region that give me the impression that they care about money more than the customer, but I didn't get that from Josh. He sent email updates to me about how things were coming along with the car, how much power it made, etc. I had a small window of time when I could come pick up my car, and Josh busted his butt to make sure that I got my car on the correct day (even though he had a lot of other projects to juggle). I also noticed when I got my car back that there were zero fingerprints on it, it had been kept inside at night, etc.
The tune for my cam has been spot on. No issues, and great power.
Eventually I will do a blower on my car, and before I tried this shop I was 100% set on going to ECS to do it. Now I'm on the fence, which says something.
Either way, I definitely recommend this shop.

You can go on price point and liking someone, or you can make your purchase on proven experience. No one has more experience supercharging late model Corvettes then we do period.
Just to be clear, that is in no way shape form or fashion a dig at HPA, they seem like a good group of guys from the little I know of them, it's simply fact. Nor would I have came into a thread regarding another shop if we were not specifically mentioned.

Also to be clear, my post was not a dig at ECS. You guys are an excellent shop, and I feel your name and reputation are well known enough to use as a measuring stick for quality.
