No experience with CSP, but I can vouch for Jannetty's shop, both times I drove up there they did exactly what we had agreed on (even more) and right on time, no games, no delays, no pushing me behind some other "more urgent" work etc. He is also responsible with his "product" in terms of targeting maximum efficiency and stability over hero numbers, as stated above.
However, I will say that the appointments I'd booked were 3-5 weeks out even before covid, so this kind of timeline and even delays cannot be unexpected with a capable shop, especially now.

Thats what I got out of Ted when we spoke. I dont mind waiting for an appointment. What I do mind is you have an appointment dor work to be done and they give you a day that they will complete the work and weeks or months past the delivery time. I believe Ted says " power through efficiency " |

Sorry for the delay, usually we do our best to align things so we begin working on your car within a week of the drop off date. We never promise an end date as doing work like this tends to throw curve-balls from time to time and I don't like being under the wire to finish a project. I think its a better result to take a little longer than expected, rather than to rush a project and miss something. So we've made a point not to rush any project, no matter how big or small the build, in the name of a quality.
For those wondering, we operate with a line system. We have roughly two labor lanes, a fast lane for simple stuff like headers, and a normal lane for bigger builds like camshafts, etc. Basically, you are in line from your deposit date and our goal is to bring it in as your number comes up and start working on it within a week of that - that way it doesn't sit for months waiting to be worked on. Unfortunately we had a few curve-balls thrown at us in this particular lane that delayed when the tech could start on it after we scheduled the drop off date. But how we operate it ideally doesn't affect too many people as we haven't scheduled others out further because of the delays. Rest assured we started work and even found some silly stuff previous shops didn't - like a block of wood between the fuse panel and the computer hah. WTF was that doing in there =P As far as other things I saw in the thread, we most certainly have a lot of LSx and LTx experience. But I'm usually building street cars with loads of power, not necessarily gutted track cars just going for times. Nick (GuitarmageddonZL1)'s twin turbo 6th Gen went 8s with full weight with a set of 17" drag radials on the rear, not even a skinny up front. As far as my aggressiveness with the tuning, I tend to be somewhere in the middle. safety is number one, but I'll take it as far as where I feel is safe. I'll press the snot out of my own cars, but that's because if I destroy it I only have myself to blame lol. However a deliverable street car needs to have reliability. Taking the car to the max is like a max rep with lifting weights. That would mean here's the hero pass at the track and now the engine is blown - like cleetus's 7 second pass in Leroy lol. This isn't what we want to deliver. Anyway, I appreciate all the positive feedback in this thread. I want to thank you all for the business over the years as I can't imagine doing anything else with my life. Its a dream come true to make a living doing this - although some days the dream is a nightmare because that's modding cars for ya lol. -Andrew |

I’ve purchased a few items from CSP and have spoken with them over the phone. Straight up guys. Prices for parts were on point or best deals I could find. I would have no hesitation taking my car to then if they were within 400 miles of me.

My car is in there shop now. Although it’s been a little bit of time since I paid for the package they are going through my car like a fines tooth comb. Alex answers all my questions. They found somethings wrong from the previous owner of my 18 ZL1 but I am glad I gave them my hard earned money. I heard they are the best and so far they are backing it up. I expected they would have it a month and it’s going to be 5 or 6!weeks as long as they don’t find anything catastrophic. They are the best!!!!

Mine is going back in soon for the big boy cam as well as ported heads. I already have the maggi 2650, RF intake, Kooks 2", 3" catback. 2650, Headers and MM catch can were done by them in Sept. Its a nice spec cam, 229/240 .635 116 LSA. 2.5 degrees of overlap so just a mild lope on idle. Good power across powerband. |
