Default Has anyone here had experience with FSM and how was it?

bassically i just want to know if anyone here got the motor built by the guys at first state motorsports? im an currently working with them on getting my motor built and its been good and dandy for the most part (that being the last almost 5 months now) but latley im just getting broken promises. and a lot of jerking around. just to make it clear THIS IS NOT A HATE THREAD OF ANY KIND, there cool guys and all, and it might just be me (doubt it thoe). so i just wanted to know how everyone elses experience's with the shop worked out. 1 being horribe and 10 being perfect. im just trying to get some input here. thanks!

My overall experience in dealing with FSM has been a 10 , plain and simple. I have been through it all, built/sleeved block, Full-Race Kit, All Bolt-ons, etc...Josh and Dan have the talent and typically deliver outstanding results. Some of my project went exactly according tp plan, and some other parts were time consuming and a pain in the ***. But in the end the car came out perfectly, and I waited for quality and that is exactly what I recieved.


PS: IS it a sleeved motor? Mine took awhile to get back from ERL, but once it was in their shop it was put together quickly I have a ore basic project going on with them currently, I cant stay out of the game

stand up guys man. for sure....ive sent tons of people their way and not one of them has had any issues. That said, it sounds like it is just you

Seriously though, they are honest guys, any delays are likely due to parts on order...believe me, I've heard Josh go toe to toe with distributors to get parts that are unavailable...they are working hard for you, I'm sure of it. I trusted 3 people and only 3 people to work on my car...Dan, Josh, and Steve Sakai. FSM is solid man, just kick back, relax, and know your **** is getting done right by dudes who will treat your motor as if it was their own.

1 to 10, I give them an 11.
