Well for a boost application and no shortage of funds I would call W2W. They have made some awesome motors. Katech has a great reputation too.

For a little less money, look at LME. They have always put out good numbers.

I got my 402 from SDPC. Nobody could beat their price or service!

Now that you've made your purchase. Are pleased with your decision...

Beyond price ...in your opinion did you make the right decision?

I'm happy with my decision. It hasn't become fully up and running.
I wish I would've had some more cash set aside for a tranny but other than that I'm happy.

HKE or W2W...i'd stay away from LME personally. TSP has made some nice motors lately too.

I would talk to Dave at CDNperf.com. Good guy to deal with. Has built over 400 LS combos mild to wild. Lots of other engines also that are used for endurance and drag.

Cartek, ECS, Vette Doctors, Futral, Thunder Racing, Rapid, A&A Corvette, LGM, W2W, and LPE. All been around a long time and know what they're doing.

HKE is new, but Erik Koenig can build a serious engine.

HKE isn't really "new" Erik has been building the most powerful LSx motors for several years now...

My SDPC 402 is running strong and doesn't smoke or burn any oil at all. I'm very pleased.

I'm not saying Erik doesn't have experience building engines or that he doesn't do a badass job, but running a shop is different than simply building engines.

In that regard, HKE is new. Erik is not.

Whoever you decide to go with. Just make sure you double check everything, all the numbers compression, cost, time frame and such. Do not take anything at face value. Ask alot of questions and if you get the feeling you are being a pain don't go with them. You are spending alot of money and you should feel 100% sure about everything involved. Also, do not be afraid to double check with people on this site. If the sponsor you go with says one thing and you are a little unsure about it ask around on here. I did and it saved my build big time (Thanks Patrick G.) I do not feel you can go wrong with any of the site sponsors. With that said my opinion would be TSP. Trevor is hard to get ahold of sometimes, but he does make sure to get back with you.
