I would give serious consideration to using Proline Racing Engines or Steve Morris Engines. Steve Morris is well known for their Procharged motors, but they do alot of turbo engines as well.

Mario,

Your experience with your tranny and associated bits still wouldn't prepare you for the too often experience with that company you mentioned.

There are several other people who can do what you want and EXCEED YOUR EXPECTATIONS!

I have received a ton of PM's on this company and not one good! Looks like I will be passing on NRE . I was tempted to email them but what's the point? I planed on making the gentleman on PT.com an offer on his NRE TT but the motors not done. So I see a disaster waiting to happen. Communication and Customer service seem to be a major issue and I'm just not ready to spend 40 plus thousand dollars and deal with BS!!!!

Mario, maybe the motor's not done for the "not-so-good" reasons you've heard about. Maybe he's saying he lacks the funds to finish just to not bash NRE. Because if he bashes NRE, he would be shooting himself in the foot to sell the motor. Just be careful brother, that's all. Unless the motor is a steal, I'd search other places. There are lots of builders that build just as bad a$$ motors. Other than the wow factor of saying it's NRE and someone spent a buttload of money, you can get equal performance lots of other places and not spend as much.

Mario,

I'd hate to see those nice brakes go to waste.

I was going to buy an nre engine for my trans am but the communication/vibe was wrong so we bailed. There was a local guy who did buy one of the tt engines but he waited forever for parts he needed and communication was not speedy by any means. I would stay away from turn key as well as i was left hanging by them on my engine.
