After doing much searching and hearing so much negativity about Blueprint engines I did more searching....
Came accross this: http://high-performance-engines.com/...duct_Code=HP29
Has anyone had any experience with these guys?
Thanks,

Re: ATK engines
Hey Mike,
I just got a tip about this post by somone on the Chevelle forums where I often post. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have in regards to our engines. Just searching on here, a poster by the name of SPADE has this same engine and is very happy with it. For the $ and power its hard to beat this engine and its one of our top sellers. One thing we do is use the full hyd roller cam/lifters on our engine where other companies use FLAT TAPPET...keep an eye out for that.

Re: ATK engines
Sorry to hear it blew up, but im glad we handled it wheter it was our fault or not . On the Performance end I can assure you that we do not skimp on parts for the intended engine purposes and they are fully balanced/blue printed. We do all our HP engines here in Grand Prairie, TX (Dallas).

Re: ATK engines
Hey Brandon,
I recently purchased a 305 TPI for my 89 IROC from you and sent in the old core for the $195. I was told you received a 305 TBI so I would not get the $195. I spoke with the mechanic who did the swap for me and he said the cores are the same, a 305 is a 305. The sales person told me over the phone today that I was probably running a 305 TBI without know it. But I had a fuel pump replaced a few years ago and remember specifically being told that the pressure on the two fuel pumps is different. I know that I am using the fuel pump for a TPI engine. Still, the salesperson said that the fuel pumps are the same. Can you please help me out?

Re: ATK engines
I'm liking what I'm hearing about the ATK engines so far. Think this may be route I go.
