It means that ain't gonna pull your engine and replace it. They will just build your engine.

To save you some time and distance, Talk to SNL performance. They use H squared and can start and finish your R&R (removal and re-install).

I personally know Chris Wheelock from SNL. He's a really good guy, great driver and somebody I've purchased stuff from in the past. I'll give him a shout for ya.

Dude, if you're dropping your car off now at any performance shop, expecting them to R&R your motor and send it out to be built, you're looking at a good amount of time. Performance shops and engine builders get swamped this time of year with racing season ending. Just thought I'd let ya know.

I would not use SNL.... My buddy just went through a nightmare with work from them.


His engine is currently being built at H Squared and being installed himself. Likely tuned by LMR.

If you can't pull the motor and do the labor yourself....expect to spend serious cash..

If I had to select a shop to R&R an engine an tune it, it would likely be LMR base off of my experience and my closest buddy's experience in the Houston area with supercharged Vettes.

I had heads and my Fast 92 put on by SNL earlier this year and my dad had his heads, cam and radiator all swapped by them as well over the summer. They do good work, and back up what they've done. As has been stated, Chris Wheelock is top notch. He knows his stuff, as does the owner Steve, and the installer John. OP, they'll do what you want, and recommend changes if there are things that don't make good sense. As for who they'll use for your motor, if you want it sent to H squared, they'll do it. They also have a local builder they use that is also good, but as has been the consensus is here, H squared builds good stuff and comes highly recommended.

In the last 3 months alone, they've put out 3 1k plus fully built cars, and 2SSamre recently sent his CTS-V there for a twin turbo 434 LSX build. They can build some nice cars.

Ok well the owner emailed me. And said he would have a guy call me. He said his name but I forgot. So im just nervous. I just want good work done. and have it last a while. Id like for them to send the motor and have it built and looked at. And snl or kp racing or somone pjt it all together and get my car running. I just dont know much about these shops. Iv been in houston.. tyler.. dallas. . dfw. Ect. Just from oklahoma. And going have it hauled down to whereever it needs to go. iv spent alot of money on the parts I have bought to get all this ready. Everything is packed amd ready to be hauled to... whichever place.. just gathering all the information I can and research and talk to many many people and decide. Soon as I decide I can load car up and stuff and be on mg way
