Ive seen a few. There was one guy that had one of their pistons take a **** and tore up a motor and thompson replaced it even though the OP had no proof that it was due to a fault of thompson or quality.

To me, that was some grade A customer service, id def use them.

To the things I have read about them, they seem to have very good quality products as well as good customer service. People will say or post bad things about shops and crap with no proof in anyway more than people will post good things about the shops.

The 416ci LQ9 iron short block intrigues me a lot. I may have to make a phone call to them and get some information.
