I've been buying parts for years from Jason and the fellas at Texas Speed without ever a problem.

I have had wonderful service from both, but when I need to make a bigger order(such as my pistons and rods last month) I order from Thunder Racing because simply they are out of state, and thus no tax whereas TSP is in TX and I have to pay tax.. tax on 1400$ adds up fast. I was surprised as well when I ordered from TR, not only did I get no tax charge, I also got a 40$ rebate off for an order being over $1000.

But in the end, both are great companies, I have purchased from both and never once had bad service or slow shipping!

I bought these parts with my tax return, i'll be damned if im going to pay sales tax on my tax return lol.

I personally like TSP. but I have also heard good things about thunder. I think that TSP had the better cam packages.

Once again, go with whatever cam you like best. I've dealt with both, and never had a problem. I ended up getting a cam package with thunder, just because i liked the TR230/224.
