Cartek ot TTP? Want to get some engine work done, specifically the heads and cam. Who do you guys think is better for quality, Cartek or TTP? Had a 96 TA that got eaten up by a Vortech 
, so this time I want the car to last. It was an endless hassle with the supercharger and this time I want to some mid-level mods and still keep it a semi-daily driver.

Just because someone builds a fast race car does not necessarily mean they do a great job on street cars or customers cars for that matter. With that said, I don't think you can go wrong with either. I know TTP has great prices. I don't know where you are located but the best place I can reccomend is Dez racing in Seakonk MA & Slowhawk.

No, but it is indicative on how they build their street cars. FWIW, all the fast heads and cam cars that come out of Cartek, ARE street cars.
When BSPZ28 (pete) was a Cartek customer, he drove his Camaro from NY to Kentucky, if that doesn't qualify as "street", then what does?

matt, george and the guys at TTP take no shortcuts over there, if you want a mean head and cam package for a decent price there the place to go.
Prices will keep going up.Mine are 
You can get work thrown at your car but it takes alot of time to set everything up perfect.TTP and Dez are pretty close on install prices,I have no idea how much Cartek or other shops charge

However, Cartek builds some primo Vettes.. Mike Mitchell, Paul Ziajski, and Mike Conway. All are in the top 10 of the Corvette Challenge 2005 Pro 8 Standings. Also.. some musclehead with a red Camaro, too!
Actually.. Cartek caters to the high-end Vette clients, and TTP is more a F-Body shop.. although TTP doe's have some fast Vette's too!
For a heads & cam setup that works without all the bell's and whistles, TTP uses AFR's and "Equalizer" cams which have dyno sheets to back them up.
So- with that said, TTP would be the best for your needs/price point.
