Good to see some positives posted considering some of the negatives tossed around lately.One of the signs of a good company is being busy all the times.If they sucked they wouldnt be busy.I still believe this is the best shop bar none for LS1 performance.When they get done with my hot-rod I should have some hi 8 sec slips in hand.

I am very happy with ARE as well. I think they just need to hire a sales guy to help them out. Everyone there is working on cars hehe (Which is a good thing)

I bet even Susie is working on her sled right now! (She is a mad woman! haha

I heard they are all working on their tans right now. They could definitely use some more guys and maybe an assembly line to pump out all the engines.

They also need someone to take a trip down to TNT and kick someones *** to get me the parts to finish my DP. I'm damn near ready to take a trip down there myself just to get the friggin parts that we've been waiting on forever.

Can't wait to try out the motor! I've been waiting since this past Febuary to get a call saying its ready. I wouldn't mind getting mine back so the car can be finished and I can go race!

Like I said I hope I can get a call soon its been a long time!

Glad to hear they are cranking out good products, but disagree with more people and the assembly line ideas. Keep what works, and dont do anything to sacrifice the integrity you built. I've been looking into a new ARE short block and rely on their reputation. Good job guys, and hope the new engine brings you miles of happiness (or short 1/4mile smiles) Mike C.

The assembly line idea is a joke. Once you order your motor you'll understand.
