What shop do you trust for the sagest advice? And you know will be there when you still have questions after the modifications are done, and after you’ve dropped the money off? I’m looking for a shop in Houston preferably, to do some work that will entail more than just bolt-on’s. Head work, cam work, tuning, fuel upgrades, etc. Maybe a new supercharger if needed. I haven’t seen much talk about transmission limits or clutch limits but I’m sure there has to be some concern at certain power levels for packages being quoted up to 1000 hp but no mention of drivetrain work necessary?

There are several shops offering “packages” that look comparable on the various vendor websites. The hard parts are relatively easy imo, the tuning is more critical imo, and customer experience is probably even higher on my list. Once I drive away, I still want to be a long-term customer. I will be monitoring how the car is running via software/gauges afterwards, and would like to review any anomalies that might come up over time. Self-adjust the tune (with guidance of course) when needed and avoid a trip to the shop when possible.

I live in Baton Rouge, a Houston shop is not a must but I would like to keep it within a couple hundred miles of home.

MTI, LMR, HhP, Hennessey all advertise, and offer comparable kits on paper at least. It would be nice to hear people’s experiences prior to contacting these vendors with 1000 questions. I know some of these vendors are active on this site, so please keep it clean and real world. I know there are a lot of fan boys on this site, and that just muddies the waters and makes searching extremely difficult on topics like this. Separating fact from fiction might be a pipe dream here, but I’d like to try at least.

If you have read this far, thank you and I look forward to your advice.

 

We would be happy to put you a build together. Call me anytime.
Thanks,

Multiple people in LA with LMR built cars. You can see mine at the NOLA 1/2 mile event this weekend. LMR will also be there if you want to ask questions directly.

 

LG near Dallas & GSpeed at Cresson both are the best in the business.

 

Thanks for the recommendation. For big power builds we recommend LG or Kevin @ M2k in houston (again, can be seen at the half mile this weekend)

If neither of those suit your fancy, have a look at Dedicated Motorsports in Weatherford, Tx. Matthew Owen is a great fabricator and very detail oriented.

Our work has moved more towards road racing and away from the 1000hp club. Its certainly fun, but we must recommend shops that are better at those than us. For customers- this is a hobby is intended to be fun. It isnt fun when you build a relationship with a shop that isnt capable and spends your hard earned dollars unnecessarily breaking your car or leaving you high and dry.
