hey there...
man Sams r good at what they do ill tell u that!!
My motor is slighty worked by them..just carby, dizzy and mild stage 2 cam, but it is a hell of alot better than standard...now pumps out 53kw at the wheels instead of like 30...and the engines thay do r great...the have won the Horsepower Heros at the Summernats a few times, they own a gemmi coupe that runs 12s with a naturally asperated 2l and yeah they are good at what they do.The engine conversions are not conversions, they build wild 1600 that run anyhere between 125 and 165hp..
Sorry that this is long but yeah i rate their work highly.
