Knowing both guys at the shops personally, you can not go wrong with either option. Only place to look here in the Houston area for the LSX motor options.

I wouldn't doubt it, Erik seems to fix quite a bit of other shop's mistakes.

Another vote for HKE. We've used several of his motors and they all have maintained oil pressure and their rods. :0

Yeah, I think Steven, Josh, and their crew won something...

probably no big deal.

But Erik is a fantastic builder and has some excellent guys working for him. Either way, you are dealing with some of the best.

I honestly have given up hope on them making it right and sent my motor to someone else.

Another vote for HKE, they did my Forged 402. Quality is the best I've seen around, however, turn around time needs some work.

No sir, it was Bruce & Earl @ The Wop Shop. I have my engine @ Erik's right now being built for my orange car.
