Texas Speed - Lateral-g Forums

I can recommend Texas Speed without a doubt. I bought one of their LS 6.0 engines a few years ago and the transaction and customer service were flawless. Although, I never installed the engine and sold it to upgrade to a LS7, the company was still a pleasure to deal with and I wouldn't hesitate using them again.

I'm expecting my 630HP 418 LS3 turn key package to ship this week...fingers crossed. So far their customer service has been great so hopefully the product is just as good...and gets here in time! They are sticking to the 6 week estimate so far.

I wouldn't be worried if I were you. They are a great bunch of guys to deal with. Although, in today's times, wherever one spends his hard earned dollar, I can understand being a bit apprehensive, but I would fret not with them. They're pretty cool. And post pics when you get it.

I have also been looking at their engines. Looks like a good way to go. I was on the fence with a stock LS3/430 with cam, LSA, or a drop in from Texas and I am leaning more towards the Texas package. I have heard good things about them as well, and so far my experience on the phone has been well received.

Well my CS experience is going downhill fast. I've been promised "it will ship next week" for the last 3 weeks straight and now they're saying not until the end of next week. I've had to re-book shop space and change my friends' who are coming in to help plans twice now because they can't give an accurate date. Every time I call I get a different story. Now it's because they have their builders helping move shop equipment to their new location...shouldn't they perhaps work on customer engines that are already 3 weeks late first?

I think it will still be a good engine if I ever get it but with our very short season up here I may not find out until next year now.

Not that it makes the wait any better, but they are moving to another shop. So, at least that's not a bunch of molarkey. It takes a alot to move a shop and all that heavy equipment. True, they should have made the apparent ship date known from the beginning, but bear with them...they are a standup shop.

Or they could finish the engines ordered prior to the move first. Most of all I hate being lied to week after week. We only have about 3 months to drive cars like this up here and they've cost me at least one of them plus cost me a lot in expecting other parts by telling me it would for sure ship "next week" and then it being another 3. That really pisses me off...just be honest and say it will be 3 weeks so I can plan for it!

I will say that they have stepped up somewhat by helping with some shipping cost and extend into the warranty out a bit but only after I raised a ruckus and finally got to talk to the manager.
