The name escapes me right now.... but that dyno tuner we both used, does he not have any connections to quality local builders? He talked the talk of a lot of badass Vettes rolling in and out of his shop?

Todd did some reading, sorry to see the engine problems, thats an awsome car & I'm glad to see you using it for what's built for. Good luck with getting the engine staightened out.

the main focus of his builds are lsx... he out sources the machine work and builds them in house. Im sure he could build it for todd but i dot believe he knows BB builds like the back of his hand and thats what todds looking for.

Sorry to hear about the motor. I'm sure you will get it rebuild and it will be better than ever

Todd --

I've talked to and spent some time at Speed-O-Motive (LA)... They do TONS of blown stuff... and looked to be a very well run and organized shop...

Just my two cents...

Funny. I have heard nothing but TERRIBLE reports about Speed-O-Motive... doing such a high volume of motors translates into inconsistent assembly and results is the consensus I have read about. No personal experience though.

Todd, let me know when you are coming out to Cali.

Glad you are on the case so quickly with it. It should be easy to make the power numbers you are looking for with those heads and another cam--and keep it streetable. If you need some running around done for you in terms of shop selection, let me know--i've dealt with quite a few of them and am glad to help you out.

June is coming buddy--

Doug

The beauty of these forums... you post something up - and people with more / different / better info add what they know... I wasn't saying that I KNOW they do good work - was just putting the name out there... So I'm glad you added your knowledge!!
