Basically when purchasing one of our out of state packages, we offer either free hotel stay, free gas for the trip out here or we will pay for the rental car! This goes for our AZPS Grind packages and AZPS Horsepower packages only

Well that doesn't make much sense for anyone who lives here, but it would be cool if I didn't live here...

You guys should definitely start selling your cams to the public, it's a fantastic idea...I'd buy one immediately if you would.

^ I also wish you would sell just the cam its self and not the entire package. I do my own labor to keep cost down but would like a reputable shop here in AZ to offer parts.

For a long time I thought you were Bret... but I just realized youre in PA and just have his car in your sig Hes one of our big customers!

We may start soon, im just tired of seeing this industry and certain shops do nothing but copy other companies stuff, then sell it cheaper and we did a lot of R&D on our cams to get the numbers and drivability we have!

Any of you guys heard of LS1 Performance and the owner Steve Hiltner. He was supposed to build me an engine. It fell through and he kept my Dart heads and maf at his shop in Arizona. He wont answer his phone or emails.

I have filed a case with the better business bureau. I sent him 3500 bucks and a set of Dart 225 Heads from Summit Racing. He fell through on the short block so I charged back my credit card. He was pissed and kept my heads and used them on someone elses engine build. I contacted him first in April of last year. I filed with the better business bureau. I am now looking for help to get my heads or money back, without getting on a plane and going to his shop in Chandler, AZ. If anyone else got ripped off, here is a place to file a complaint. http://www.arizonabbb.org/file_a_com....asp?nav_id=10

Contact me if you have any other questions.

He has finally sent me a return email. He has stated that he will send me a tracking number for the heads by Friday. These forums do help out...

You will get your parts but it took a year for me to get. That was after filing 2 cases with the Arizona BBB. Then I joined the corvette forum where he does alot of business and they have connections.

He is not a bad guy he just does nt hurry for anybody and is not concern with answer a phone.

From what I have heard there are chains and locks on the doors. Looks like they got out of dodge... lots of people calling from overseas wanting to know where they went too. Not good...

Good thing all my work goes to the most honest shop in AZ. Top gear motorsports. I have never seen better work. This guy is will never sell you anything you don't need. He is always honest and straight up. He never plays games. What more can you ask for out of a shop.

Default Fraud

man this guy is a complete ******* and a fraud. I'm over here stationed in baghdad and I ordered a 402 from him back in july, and paid 9 grand upfront for it.
Well, its almost November and still no motor. I haven't heard from him since Sept 10. Before that it was excuse after excuse. He committed straight up fraud, no question about it. I reported him to the FTC for wirefraud. I hope this mother f*cker goes to prison.
I talked with two other ebay users - He screwed another local guy out of 15k for an LS7 block.
