I personally can only give some information on their customer service. I have called them a few times to order parts and they were very helpful and prompt! So A+ on customer service! One of my friends is running a texas-speed cam and loves it.

Haha you know I felt the same way. I called them on quite a few parts when I was doing my H/C swap. I called them for supporting mods like a double roller timing chain, underdrive pulley, etc and they had some of the best prices. I always do a lot of searching for the lowest price even if I only save a few dollars. People tell me I'm crazy, but I believe every dollar counts and with how expensive modding gets I'll save every penny I can haha. So yeah they had some of the lowest prices out of a lot of vendors.

I bought a cam package from them. The 233/233 112lsa cam. I also got a underdrive pulley. The package with UD pulley came to $1k. I am very happy with the parts. It picked up 48 rwhp and 18rwtq with 410 gears. Their cust. service was good and everything was packed very good and arrived on time. It sounds pretty mean too.

. I had to have my motor re-ringed, honed and new bearings installed due to poor installation of bad parts and a MAJOR blow by issue causing a ton of smoking. My TSP 383 was a problem from day 1, along with a few other local guys as well.

Not any good experiences here . I had to have my motor re-ringed, honed and new bearings installed due to poor installation of bad parts and a MAJOR blow by issue causing a ton of smoking. My TSP 383 was a problem from day 1, along with a few other local guys as well. :

So the Tech didn't know what he was doing at TSP. And the parts were junk.Some people swear by the texas speed stuff. You see a lot of people running the MS4 cam.

. I have heard of a ton of issues with their crate motors lately 
. I do not want to say anymore and get parked by the mods, so good luck on whatever you decide to use. 
I have seen a few with MS4 cams and they are nice. A ton of us in Nor Cal are running Advanced Dynos line of cams and really like them. They are also a sponsor on here and do a ton of work on Nor Cal cars. Call Robert if you need any cam advice. 707-425-DYNO.

Got any idea what power/torque they gave you? Any video or sound clips? I'm considering getting the long tubes/cat/x pipe back to my ti exhaust but just wondering how good they are... They sell pacesetter sooo i'm leaning towards they are pretty low end. Just wondering. Thanks.
