Just wanted to get some thoughts from members.

LPE

LPE.

If you can not afford them then look at ADM. They are very good, I would go there if you can not afford LPE.

What brings you to that decision, personal experience with them? Been having a discussion with a co-worker and he swears by Hennessy and I am leaning towards LPE. Just hard to find a site with reviews on it for them.

Just from what I've seen on this site I would go with LPE. It's pretty easy to find negative information on Hennessey. I consider myself new still, but I haven't heard anyone say anything negative about LPE. I'm sure that Hennessey has cleaned up his business, but it's hard to get away from a past like that reguardless of the great work he's been putting out since.

Great info.... keep them coming. More fuel to throw on the fire with my co-worker

ZZcamaro · 11-11-2009, 11:07 AM

I would go with LPE...but as others said it is pricey either way!!

I am going to be releasing a few car packages that will be similar to that offered by LPE or other builders. But I also will be addressing the chassis and suspension...SO you will get more for your money!! I know I always like getting more for my hard earned dollars.

If anybody needs more info on our supercar packages, PM or email me.

Scott@Bjorn3D · 11-11-2009, 11:09 AM

Yeah MTI is good and I have chatted with them on the tele. Their road racing suspension has me drooling.

I think many of you would be surprised to see both facilities, in all honesty. Both shops have skilled workers and plenty of know how, in-fact there are a lot of shops similar, or better just without the marketing budgets , or political ties to motortrend ect.

For example we have over 12k square feet of shop space and fabrication equipment that we have, CNC mill, CNC lathe, 3" mandrel bender, presses, notchers, ect ect. It can all be done here, just like at LPE and Hennessy, I think that is really crucial for quality control and fitment on a lot of these builds.

As for an impressive complex or facility, I think one of the top five in the country is Livernois motorsports, I have visited many of these shops and that is a company run with a purpose to engineer quality components, and service in a timely fashion.

My .02

Good luck
