Default Exotic Performance Plus Engine Rebuild

Just curious to know if any of you forced induction guys went to EPP for your rebuild. From what I hear and see on the boards they seem like a stand up company, and Bob has always been prompt in answering my questions as stupid as they may be. This is the kinda business I would one day like to do business with even though they may be halfway across the country. But back to the question, I am really just interested in what you guys think of the EPP engine rebuilds listed at $5700? Have anyone of you dealt with them directly or know someone who dealt with them? Basically I want to know if their forged rebuilds will last on a car pushing 600 to the wheels on a non-daily driver that sees occasional drag strip time. Thanks.

Anything from Bob will be stand up. I have yet to hear anything negative about EPP. Cannot say the same about other shops I have dealt with in the past.

This $5700.00 engine rebuild, stock crank with Compstar rods and Diamond pistons and Total Seal rings and producing 740rwhp, is living well in a brutal road course environment, where the throttle is help at wide open throttle levels for much longer than most of our engines see.

I agree. If you want to add more hp later, you might consider a forged crank. But I would never hesitate to give EPP my business. They are a great company with a great reputation.

I didn't know how good I had it when I was living in Fort Wayne, Bob is very stand up, and will answer your questions. They did my cam and some other things before I moved down to Forida.

+1 for a good shop
