Nelson Racing engines does build LSX motors however they are somewhat late getting into the game but I have plenty of confidence that their motors can and will perform. If you have never heard of them you need to get out of your foxhole or something haha. However I have the same confidence in shops like W2W neither would be a bad choice. Don't start badmouthing NRE though they are a VERY well known shop. Anybody who builds motors that go out and compete and win Drag Week knows what they are doing.

Quicken....not sure who you are, but I don't believe I provided a quote to you. Perhaps it was someone else that worked here before me. Since we built an entire car for the price you mentioned above, I really doubt you have a quote in your hands for $120k for an engine and TT setup. If you do, please post it up.

I am not here to bash your choices. I am sure NRE does stellar work, and I am happy that you are happy with using them. W2W is more of an LSx based shop. It is primarily what we do. We have more experience with these engines than any other shop (exception may be Katech). Not saying our work can't be replicated by others, but we do have facts and accomplishments to back up what we say, not just the kind words of our supporters.

I named 7... you have any more? Lynch and Brand have raced ORSCA before.... and it's not just money. Ask all of the people like Chip Havemann with megabuck rides that haven't broken into the 6's yet... it's a matter of chassis and motor tuning as well as driving. It's the whole package. These cars are not consistantly in the 6's, not by a wild stretch of the imagination. Then again, 3000+ pounds on skinny tires might not be the easiest thing to get down the track either.

Thats the thing, most people are stuck in interent forums where all they know are the sponsors. Theirs so many shops out there that build top of the line engines and have MUCH more experience, like FTM for instance, Fast Time Motorworks who also builds LSx engines, turbo and sc'ed packages that will KILL anything the sponsors have at almost half the price. Half the price, thats right, I have a quote from them too. 1,000 HP pump gas BBC with a 6 psi small Procharger ($28,000) or an LSx engine with a single turbo making 1,200 HP for about the same price, also pump gas and a safe tune.

Thats another thing, all the sponsors and people here seem to be pushing the limits with pump gas at 600-800 hp and blowing up motors. NRE is running RICH tuned TT engines at 1,300 hp and FTM is way over 1,000 hp too. FTM builds LSx engines and is also going to be building Warhawk engines at great prices. Experience with what really works is the key.

No disrespect intended, you're certainly a top shop. Thats why I went to you for a quote. You and Katech, thats it. But sometimes pricing makes the whole thing a very bad deal. Just trying to get across that people can't keep from saying who the best shops in the world are because they have an engine from them and because they have the fastest this-or-that.

LOL, unbelievable...I recommended W2W because I have personal experience with them. I went to them because they have consistenly built motors that have lasted pass after pass, at the 1000+ hp level, and they just happen to have the fastest LSx based 1/4 mile pass.

You keep bringing up shops that you haven't built a motor with and keep telling everyone how superior they are. I have asked 3 times whether you have had either a motor or setup built by them and there has never been an answer...WHY? Do you or do you not have any PERSONAL experience (ie. YOU SPENT MONEY HAVING A MOTOR/SETUP BUILT) with these shops? Where is your 1500hp street car? If it's so simple, what is the problem?

So, while you are trying to keep people from saying that one shop or another is the best, when they have the personal experience to back up a recommendation...You recommend places that you have never used for a build that cost tens of thousands of $$$, and you are recommending that the guy switch engine platforms.
