Nay

had some bad experiences with them..

Go to the Midwest Fbody Association forum and read some of the locked threads about Speed Inc problems...

I'm not gonna start another pointless war, what was needed to be said has already been said.

Yay for Speed Inc.
I ordered subframe connectors from them, and their shipping was dirt cheap. I couldn't get a total shipping cost from their website so I called them, and the lady was really nice.

There is something to be said when you can call a company and actually talk to someone at night and not be put on hold.

I'm gonna go with nay, they did heads and cam on my buddy's car and mysteriously 60miles later a bearing decides to spin. We had several engine builders look at it and they all say that something got in the motor, most likely from the install. Speed inc denies it so my buddy get screwed into paying 1500 for a new shortblock. The used a screwdriver to put his timing gear on(nicked the hell out of it), nicked up his oil pump, gouged the hell out of the crank snout, his accesory outlets didn't work after he got it back, they ruined his groundeffects by lifting the car on em, and about 20 other things that I'm forgetting.
