As for the credibility of Eric and Performance Engineering, I have to say the following: As someone that worked at Dynamic Motorsports from 2004-2009 I have had a very close working relationship with Performance Engineering. They performed almost all of the drivetrain installations on the Cobra's, GT40's, and Daytona Coupes that were sold by Dynamic. I have personally witnessed Eric go above and beyond the call of duty to stand behind his products, and help customers with motors from other manufacturers. When a customer bought a SPF car from us, they had all of the options under the sun for drivetrain installs. They could choose Ford, Roush, etc. I personally saw more failures in 351 and 427 "crate" motors from the major manufacturers than I ever saw in Eric's engines.

One of the most important things to remember is that if you take a car out on a track, you are on your own. Everyone that has ever had a problem after a track day says the same thing...."I drove it conservatively" or "we only did a few lead follow sessions" but the fact remains that I have never witnessed anyone "baby" the car on the track. Why would you take a car on to the track unless you plan on driving it hard?

After selling a ton of SPF car and having a working relationship with PE in the past, I can say without a doubt that I would personally have Eric install my drivetrain....hands down.
I might have considered this reasonable if it wasn't for the broken valve train component thread going on at the same time. Perhaps you have a special relationship with PE that would ensure special treatment and top parts. If you would step back and remove your bias, I doubt you would feel the same if you read both threads. I'm a reasonable and forgiving person, but I would never buy from PE right now given the CURRENT situation. As all of your experience is historical, you might want to reconsider given the CURRENT situation. Pontiac used to build some great cars...
