DTM Brian Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 http://www.thomsonautomotive.com/?page=ads.cfm What are your thoughts on these guys? I am need of a a "RELIABLE" 1000 wheel horsepower long block. Twin turbo pump gas. Please keep the thread on track. I am not interested in comments about other local shops. I want to know if any of you had any experience with these guys or know of anyone who has. The reason for wanting to get a turn key long block is because of time contraint on a project. Customer is not interested in Livernois based on past dealings with them. Please advise.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTM Brian Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 link just goes to a website, not a specific engine. Correct. I am interested in getting more information about the shop and not a specific engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cordell Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I don't cruise LS1tech as much as I used to, but I have never heard of them. Doesn't mean they aren't good, maybe you can find out who is doing the work as there are a few good shops that closed up and maybe some good people went there.

Rumor has it this place is a "hang out" for some GM Engineers. So far everything I read is positive. The owner is very friendly and willing to take time on the phone to ask questions. So far so good.

Brandon Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Would be nice to get a return call from them. Good Luck, Brian, please call Mark or Me about his and my dealings with ERL. Their products are fine ( I am not making an attempt to discredit their work), however their service is among the bottom in the industry.

Customer is all about this Thompson Automotive. I am really excited about being part of this project. Once I get approval from the customer and the shop I am working with I will post pictures. Car is "supposed" to be delivered sometime next week. I will say that it is going to be a G8 GT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh8sti Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 i think my next car is gonna be a white GXP. When i convince my dad i need it, that is. Should be easy. That or a 09-10 CTS-V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTM Brian Posted November 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Originally the customer was going to go with a GXP. After looking at the parts list it made better sense to start with a GT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 yeah i looked into that as well, Im going bolt on only though. Focusing more of the suspension/wheel combo. There are some nasty setups out there for those cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
