LOL @ this thread. I posted my experience on how my stock ls2 motor blew up thanks to HPE almost a year ago but the thread quickly got locked.
Gary Harmon has already been served with a demand letter (to which he didn't reply to) and now is running away from getting served from the court subpoena (lol).
If anyone knows any information regarding Gary's where abouts or could PM me with an address, or a license plate to the Titan that he bought with his scam, I'd appreciate it.

They only advertise their business on Corvette Forum, and they are not hurting for work in the last 2 years that I have been going there. You are apart of the process when you take your car there. Every car is photographed through the entire process, top to bottom. Over 40,000 pics in their database from the work they do on each car. Nothing is rushed at all.
My Z06 made similar power with a similar size cam to a few other cars that I have driven in Houston from other shops, and the owners could not believe how close to stock mine drove.
Only 2 shops in Houston that I will do business with, heard some horror stories that you can't post on here.

if he does and its a sponsor, then teh post will be deleted, possibly the whole thread. He who says it may also be penalized by the moderators. If anybody would like to hear dirty laundry about current sponsors, it will have to be done through PM's.

Thanks, yes, not going to post anything specificly negative about a shop. Only going to say that I have never had a bad experience with England Green or Gforce. I've speant a good amount around Houston in the last few years on my LSX cars.

Had I not chose Patrick G to do my work, G Force would have been chosen. Living in Pasadena, they weren't that far from me, where LMR was on the other side of town.

Pretty smart, Corvetteforum guys eat that kind of stuff up, but it really does show attention to detail.
^^^it covers themselves, their customers, gives them something to show for their work, provides build pics, and provides finished pics. digital cameras are cheap as well as flash drives. theres really no way its a bad thing
I do the same thing on most of my builds. It allows the owners of the cars to see they are getting what they pay for. Nothing worse than paying for aftermarket parts to find out you did not get what you paid for.

I have had that happen before, provided my own collector gaskets, percy's soft alum and when I got the car back they had some shitty paper gaskets and gobs of RTV
ya sure as hell took enough of em on that ARD turd gen fiasco, my mobile internet card was having all kinds of hell trying to load that thread hahahaha
FYI Guys, I got a reply from Gary on fbook and they have closed the shop and shut down temporairily as they are looking for land to build a new place. Gary has a new job - not sure what. Hope this helps and sorry to the OP as if they disolved the HPE business this will not help you get your money back.
