Texas Speed & Performance Engines
On average are people satisfied with TSP built engines in terms of quality/durability? Googling around it seems comments are generally positive, although I do run into the odd thread about new engines burning oil and on Camaro5 there seems to be several complaints (not necessarily about engine quality, but the business in general). Before spending big money would be nice to have piece of mind, but I appreciate nobody will have 100% positive feedback (back in the day everybody was nut-hugging HKE, but Erik took my money and no delivered an engine after 2yrs)

Since TSP relocated to Georgetown and added a very impressive areay of machines, professionals, and now sleeve options, we havent heard any complaints.
Alot of the issues are normally assembly error by the installer etc or **** poor tunes or heads and cam combo bought other places or thrown together.
They literally do everything in house. The biggest issue beyond that is every guy that spends 1k thinks he should get to the head of the line. They start counting when the money leaves their card and on Monday after week 3 "its been 4 weeks now where is it"
They do so much more than other places do especially if you have them install your cam or build a long block or turn key. They will digitally degree your cam. Their lead assembler has been in the business longer than quite a few here on tech.
Their gold standard at the moment is their 5th snd 6th gen cars and Leroy the Savage, Ray Bulach's car, and Agent Orange. Record holders and record setters. There is no other place that machines the heads, and right down the row machines the cam for it, then machines the block a little further down as well as balances in house.
They are top notch. We don't sell alot of then because we dont advertise them. We really arent set up for that, plus the fees on such a large transaction eat up any margin. I say that because im not trying to plug them because we make money on them. Im backing them because they are quality.

I've dealt with them a few times. I probably sent 50 emails to them helping me with choosing the right parts for my build. I've bought my cam, heads, injectors, some feeling system parts among other things from them. If I could afford a turn key from them, I would only but from them.

I have been to their shop and was truly amazed at the excellent work and customer satisfaction they strive for. They did my 5.3 862 heads and they are beautiful and they were a pleasure to work with. The staff is very knowledgeable regarding the LS platform. If you ever get the chance, get them to take you on a shop tour, Beautiful CLEAN facility with all the latest CNC equipment. Going back soon to get more head work done...
