Poll: Best LS Engine Builder/Tuner in TX
Why? Because I'm about to fork out 12 - 15k on a new motor and that's a lot of money where I come from. My criteria is quality first and value a close second. I enumerated only shops in TX I already knew about or was made aware of through this forum.
It's not scientific but it may help me decide which shop to use. My previous thread netted a few recommendations but they are all over the board.

If I'm not mistaken, ARD has built many bad *** Corvettes and Camaros. I believe they have won the LSX shootout as well. Owen has a 2010 Camaro putting out about 1000 rwhp on pump gas. I know for a fact he has built some less radical Camaros with LS3 and L99 with well over 600+ rwhp. When I start in on the engine mods on my vette, I'm handing the keys over to Owen.

Although the shop has only been open about a year, Reckart Performance Tuning is building a good reputation around central Texas. The owner, Brian, has the new Dynapack Dyno which bolts directly to the axle and takes the time to calibrate the MAF, VE, and timing tables.
He is well known by the area FBody and Corvette guys.
Check him out.
