No, but I started UTI today. Chuck at HPE went there, and I think he only hires graduates from SAM, so it must not be TOO bad.

I went to sam a couple years ago and the owner of HPE went there. The appearance of the school is far better than what is was. They just got a new dyno and dyno room and they build some fast cars too. Also if you are going to take the head course, the porting room is pimpin' and a excellent machining area. The instructors are by far the best. Personally I would only go to this school if you are considering working in the automotive industry. Feel free to PM me any time if need anything else. good luck, CAM

I'm headed to UTI in Houston, start on the 8th of August. I've heard nothing but good things about SAM. If everything works out with UTI I may go there afterwards.
