Default 510 race engineering

earlier i posted a thread about ellis performance asking if anyone ever used them. coincidentally, they are in the same parking lot as 510, which led me to get the two places mixed up. with that said, has anyone ever used 510 race engineering on huffsmith-khorville? I am interested in getting tuned and wanted feedback on this place.

I've taken all of my cars to them. I was their very first customer when they had their old shop. Matt and Randy really know what they're doing. I would recommend them 100%.

Randy and Matt are real sharp guys and are very good at what they do. Every car I've seen them put out was very nicely done

They ported my 241's, made 473rwhp on Ls1, that's the only work they did for me though, I know they can port heads and they have a Inhouse flow bench

Ellis Performance is in the same parking lot, they mainly do your maintenance stuff and I know they build bikes.

There are a few top notch shops in Houston and I would rate 510 in one of the top shops. Not just because my car was done there but they also have some badass projects going on in there. If you saw the 2010 tubbed F1R Camaro that thing is complete sickness! Also I saw Joshs (Slash8915) vette there the other day, and thats one sexy Vette for sure and it I bet it will make some great numbers as well.

If you get a chance just ride over there and take a tour, nice guys and they will show you around. Tell them Daniel sent you and they will take great care of whatever you need.

They put my verter in the trailblazer a few weeks ago. Dropped my truck off Thursday afternoon and it was done the next morning. Randy is super nice and i would use them again.

Have done a little business with them. They are about my age and very professional and really easy to get along with. I wanted to pic up an engine on a Saturday morning and was afraid they would not show up til after lunch. I got there at 8:00 and they had been finishing up that blue mustang and were loading it up. Definitely recommend them.

Glad to hear good things about them. I talked to them Jan this year about a MN12 Transmission rebuild with stage 1 and a new clutch in the Z. Very good pricing. Just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I always go back and forth with randy via text or fb. They have never done any work on my car but he still is quick to answer any question regardless what I throw at him. I will definitely do business with them once I need more work done!! Top notch I'd say and they seem to take pride in what they do as well as take pride in protecting everyone else's vehicle that is in their shop!!! I have also never seen their shop dirty what so ever!
