Default Bad A** Engines

Anyone heard of them or know of someone who has one of their engines? I'm looking at either a crate engine or one of their rebuilt engines. They have a nice website http://www.badasscars.com/products.html that claims that their rebuilt engines are much stronger than any crate engine out their. I'd also appreciate any info on other engine builders that your would recommend. thanks!

interesting......... one of my buddies' cars is featured on the sidebar. i'll check into it and get back to you. my bro's ride is the vega coming off the line doing the wheelstand...... i was under the impression another local shop was doing his work when he (monte) didn't, but i'll find out.

and, i agree with quickvett. what an unprofessional approach to the web site, although the tech stuff looks well written. just my $.02.

A ZZ4 with FB heads and the Hot cam is rated at 430hp not 385hp, as they quoted.

midget, they've never sponsored my buddy or built an engine for him. he knows of their shop, but has no first hand experience and can't recommend one way or another. he didn't even know they had his car on their site either. :confused:
sorry i couldn't be more help.
