Default Weber engine-sponsor experience?

Does anyone have any experience with Weber Engine in Ohio? They are a sponsor and fairly local to me. I trailered my SS all the way to Rapid Motorsports about 12 hours of driving from me; that's just to far! I am considering doing a new set-up...maybe a stroker with a power adder, or since my shortblock only has about 28k on it(it is factory with an Agostino Racing Engines stage 2 head/cam package), I can have a newer design head/cam combo. The package I have now is about 3-4 years old and makes about 414rwhp/387tq through the Moser 12 bolt w/4.10s and 315-35zr-17 tires out back, without any weight reduction. A current H/C combo should be A LOT more powerful! My SS is completely emissions exempt by the way!

I just got my motor back from them and I am VERY PLEASED. They where very informative and kept me in the loop on the build of the short block. I would DEFINITELY recommend them for a engine build.

I had a 408 Stoker built by them not to long ago. I was dealing with Leo and I would also recommend for a engine build. Also I think they have a dyno or they have access to a dyno

They use backstreet performance for their dyno work, good guys and so is Leo.

I have a 408 that should be just about ready from them. It took a little longer then originally planned but Leo has been great to deal with on the phone.

hey blur98ss- My family is buried in the East Brady cemetary... Small world ! I really would like to have local LSx shop for my build, for obvious reasons.

What everyone else is saying. Leo has kept me in the loop the whole time they were holding my parts and working on my engine. First start up is tonight. It's a 383 stroker.

Also, they do have a dyno but it is an engine dyno.
