Default Cartek?

Anyone have any bad reviews or bad quality work from Cartek? More towards their head porting or Cams? As well their transmissions? Or anything that Cartek has done. Thanks.

I would not use them again. I ordered stage ii heads dual springs and received what looked like stage I with single springs. They also sent me a cracked throttle body. At the time the cam seemed better than most. Its been a while so maybe they have improved

Almost forgot I sent them a perfect ls6 intake as a core and they claimed it was broken when they received it. I felt like was a shady deal. Too many small issues for me to trust them again
