Paul Krauss is one of the top LS builders on the East coast. Great bunch of guy's with alot of knowledge on how to do LS engines. Would not take my motor to anyone else

Not doubting they can't get it done but in 10 years of building these cars I've never heard of them.

I have heard of pk, but have not seen any of his ls stuff. I also heard that he charges top dollar, but again haven't seen any of his ls work, only some sbf, bbc, sbc stuff.

I still use Shawn at Virginia speed for all my machine work. It's a pain to ship ect but we've had a few cars come here from local builders and they just were not right. From very noisy piston slap to the need to run 20-50 oil to keep the oil pressure respectable.When we warrenty our stuff I can not rely on trying out a local shop that doesn't know LSX's when they say they do.
