I'll be picking my motor up from HPE tomorrow night. The guys at HPE are top notch. They do all their work in house and have the best customer service of any shop I've ever dealt with. It's one thing to be the best at what you are doing and another to suck less than everyone else. These guys are the best!

any time you start asking for something "the cheapest" you are asking for trouble... especially with a stroker engine! Reasearch who has the best service, customer support, and history with LS1 guys... then worry about price last...
If you cant afford it, either save up or dont buy it! Otherwise you will end up with an expensive front yard planter!

The 2 main reasons I went with them is 1) their reputation 2) turnaround time (no even else was even close)

Mine was built here in Vegas by Combination Motorsports.
They do all thier work in-house, and have one of the best engine builders around. That is if you consider building engines for the Craftsman Truck Series good experience....

They can also go over all the options with you, and what you plan to do with the car.
