    Is TSP OK?

    I am looking to buy a stroker engine for the new 2010 Camaro and wanted to know if having TSP build it was good choice? I thought I read that the person who worked there before was really good at building blocks but that he left so should I go somewhere else for my build? Who would you guys recommend?

    Wasn't TSP who built Kurt's first POS engine that failed? I can't recommend HKE since after three attempts I still don't have decent oil pressure. Engine has survived for two years like this but still not right. Other builders.... Katech, Mast, SDPARTS... Oh yeah, don't forget Richard at WCCH, site sponsor.

    Yeah they send him a motor with the wrong size pistons if I remember correctly. WCCH builds some awesome motors from what I hear. I know a few people on here who have them and they swear by them.

    Richard or Rex at WCCH. They will be building my next motor. They built Caseys motor and thunder550 has a 403 short block for sale in the sale section that is a really sweet deal.

    Yeh, Rex and Richard are in my back yard. I gave them a call and left a message hopefully they will get back to me soon.

    I was thinking of TSP because they are running a special on their strokers right now. But I had heard/read that their good engine builder left.

    You can't go wrong with Katech either, as mentioned above. Aren't they the primary builders for the ALMS factory backed Vettes? Those motors have always been bulletproof

    There is that old saying about you get what you pay for.
