Talking TSP 408 Stroker

Well I placed my order on June 20,2005. In july I called down and spoke with Jon Reynolds about my motor and he stated that the org, 6.0 block was not prep'd properly so they ordered a new block which set me back an extra month but now that I have my motor and had the dealer install it I am very happy. I can't say I have noticed a difference due to the break in process. But I am very sure that once I step into the gas pedal I will be very amazed. I just wanted to drop a line and say that Over all I would definitely buy another motor from Jon Reynolds @ TSP. Each time I called down to ask a stupid question he was very patient as well very polite. I had Don Ayres Pontiac GMC dealership install the motor although there were two minor set backs during the install Jon Reynolds & Jason Mangum took time out of there busy schedule and talked the Tech "Dan Thompson" threw the minor issue's. I have delt with a local performance shop here in town "DTE" and everytime I would call out there to see how the work was coming along on my car I would get excuses not to mention they made me feel like I was distrubing them.. That was definitley not the case with TSP. They have won my vote for great Perfomance shop.. I will update this with some dyno #'s next week. I will be going up today to E.P.P so see about some dyno time. Once again Jon Reynolds from TSP thank you so much for being patient and thank you for taking the time to answer all of my simple stupid questions

Well I bought 2 tsp exhaust systems and a catt'd Y pipe first earlier this year. And I was very surprised then how well there customer relations were at that time. So I had to give them a call for something important like a L-block . Thanks for the input nino. I just realized that this thread was not located in the Sponsor feedback so I am going to ask the mod's to move it there.
