Here's a guy most here don't know anything about, Greg Stanfield, former pro stock racer, now Louisiana NHRA Camaro racer, who recently won a national championship and build engines such as Justin Lamb's Super Stock engines with Maggie 2.65. If you want a max effort engine, he's as good as any. Same can be said for David Nickens in Texas.

My main point is that there are many good engine builders but all max effort engines can break. I broke my GTO engine 4 or 5 times. Only broke my T400 once with 1700hp/1350tq

Somewhat related, this R&T article was worth the read (they talk about the 'woke' EPA now monitoring forums to look for shops to go after):

But as far as your question is concerned, it's difficult to answer without getting specifics. For me, this is how I would break it down. Vengeance: Highest-quality, premier LS/LT shop in the nation. Your dollar per hp ratio may be a little tough to accept but, they do works of art. $$$$$ Katech: Race development oriented and trusted by GM to work on their C6.R. Still very high dollar to power ratio. $$$$ LMR: Solid, down to earth dudes who can get you great results without destroying your savings. Great results, slightly above middle-of-the-road pricing. $$$ GPI: Results driven, small shop with no non-sense approaches to making cars fast. You won't necessarily waste money with their builds but, you really need to understand your goals. $$ Pray: Hardest-core dude on this list. He will do absolutely anything and everything in his power to make your car haul all the ass possible that you can afford and/or are willing to do to the car. His wait list is long and his patience is nil if you annoy him but, he will make your car hurt a lot of feelings. $??

Nickey Performance in Rockford Illinois. You will have to wait a year because they are backed up but it will be worth it.

I first read it as an entire car, but as others point out, he also seems to say that he's asking only about an engine. Perhaps he'll chime in.

No. David Nickens, Conroe, Texas. Former partner of Stanfield who builds almost everything including my old 500cid Pro Stock motors.

Yep. He tunes for LMR and owns BRC as far as I know. Ryne's been showing up lately in a lot of LMR's YouTube videos, tuning in person at their shop in Houston. Having him there tuning elevates LMR, which was already on the short list of dominant late model GM performance shops.
Ryne was the man in SoCal for years, and my long term plan was to go to his shop when I got ready to build up a car, but he closed his shop and left California (can't blame him) before I was ready to make a move. I'll probably go through the top end of my new Z next year and add a larger supercharger, and when I do, I will be contacting Ryne. |
