Your Joking Right?
Its about 50/50 good bad experience from All the people I talk to about them. Its up to you if you want to take that chance.
I mean it's sad when their shop viper (ACR modified by them) gets his @ss handed to him by a NA 422 Corvette C5.
RollingBlunders is what i constantly hear on the street.

Do yourself a favor and get an issue of national dragster. There will be more engine builders than you can imagine.Most of them are very good.Scott shafiroff is one of the best, and a cylinder head guru.He can set you up with whatever you want.He has built everything and has forgotten more than most know.They are in new york.

Wait til you get an issue of national dragster. The bible of hp.No bull in that mag ,just the facts.You live and die by your reputation .The people that read that mag are mostly knowledgeable and eager to learn. HP junkies.Scott set me up with my engine and he has had many record holders, himself too.I believe he has a 434 sb that is wicked.Welcome to the candy store.

That 434 is what made me cream in my panties...its incredible....the 472 small block too...hahahaha thats A HUGE bore over the 350 eh? Chisto. Its still incredibly expensive though, youd be over 10G in his case no problem. I dont need a pro assembly and engine dyno though. Id rather have a local boy get a good deal on the parts, build it, and then tune it...Id probably save a good 1500 doing it that way.

At 10.000 dollars you definatly are NOT joe blow. However what I've found in 50 years is people only respect 2 things in life (money and violence) since I've spent the better part of my life with out the former I understand the use of the latter and it sounds like for 10 grand you got a pound of flesh comming don't be afraid to ruffel some feathers. If the company on the other hand, just has more money than G. and they have more buisness than they can handel ...you don' t need M...look elsewhere...my 2cents
