Kevin was amazing he helped me every step of the way even with my little to no knowledge he walked me through and explained everything to where I can understand about every detail that's happening to my motor I couldn't be more happy with the customer service and the speedy build they did I would recommend Thompson Motorsports to anybody if they had 10 Stars I would give them 10 I'm super excited again thanks to Kevin and his knowledge he made this build possible

Kyle Thompson hooked me up with my LS "High Torque" setup for my Silverado. My motor performed so good i blew the Gov-loc rear it smooth out. My truck will leave a Hemi waiting on a tow truck. Thank again to Thompson Motorsports. Ya'll are the best.

Visited TMS and was very impressed with They're knowledge and customer service. I will be getting a motor built in Janaury and give updates on the Camaro project.

Customer service has been one of a kind. Absolutely terrific experience. The sales manager Dustin has probably spent hours on the phone with me at this point, answering any and all questions and providing solutions that worked great for me and my budget and problems. Great shop, great value, and awesome customer serviceService: Motor buildingService: Motor building

My husband and I loved our experience with Thompson motorsport. They made everything easy no issues with the building process, no issues with delivery. They made sure everything was correct for what we where looking to do. The customer service is amazing the sales rep was great even had a great sense of humor which is amazing. I would do business again and definitely recommend to people!!!!Service: Motor building

My experience with Thompson Motorsports really could not have gone any better. I was two days late to contact them about a monthly special (due to a weekend at end of the month) and they were happy to still honor the deal! They asked all their needed questions for my engine build, were able to answer any questions I had, gave me an approximate build time and ship date which they met, was able to work with me on finding best shipping method to Alaska, and what really made me feel like an appreciated customer was how they took an interest in my life and didn't treat me as just another customer. My engine crating was well built, as it had to handle many miles of trucking and handling. Once received, it came wrapped with inside the crate, along with detailed paper work of all parts used and clearances. Engine had been running great since first start up. My contact was Dustin, and would recommend Thompson Motorsports to anyone looking for a well built engine!Service: Motor building

I've been trying to talk to these guys since the beginning of this month to get an engine build. Absolutely ZERO support. ZERO call backs. .... EDIT: Dustin followed up after seeing my frustrations and within 2 days we had an order placed and everything is moving forward. I updated my review to three stars and once we are completed they will most likely get five stars because it's not about the issues that you encounter when working with a shop but it's about how they resolve those issues and it appears Dustin and Thompson Motorsports are resolving this one very well.

I purchased Thompsons Motor of the Month deal. They converted it from a short block to a long block for me, worked with me to customize everything to my liking. Build time was less than their initial ETA and constant communication is fantastic.I received my motor, did the install and when fired it up for the tune I had a lifter fail on me. a quick call to Thompson and they send me out replacement lifters ASAP to get me up and running in a timely manner. Customer service has been nothing short of excellent, will def used them again should I have the need for more go fast components.Service: Motor building

Thompson motorsports is awesome. Dustin is great. Helped keep me updated. I ordered a fully forged 383 LS. MOTOR IS A BEAST!!! Makes 900 to the tire without sweating. Motor came 2 weeks earlier than projected. Will be ordering again when I m ready. Would recommend to anyone.Service: Motor buildingService: Motor building

Was looking around for a new motor for my nitrous truck and heard great things about Thompson so decided to give them a try and was I glad I choose them. Everything was done professionally and everything was documented with paperwork. I've passed the break in period that they recommend on the motor already and have had zero issues thus far. My 408 hauls A$$! Would highly recommend them to anybody in search of any LS engine build!Service: Motor building

Bought a 427 from them with Frankenstein heads. They don t weld the reluctor when on the crank but rate to engine for 1300hp. I made 800hp and it spun the reluctor and torched the motor and heads. When I called Kyle thompson he said send the crank and we will install and weld a new reluctor on. Sent him my crank in a well packaged box. Received it back with the crank hanging half out of the box and the new reluctor has three teeth bent over. I asked Kyle repeatedly if the box he uses for shipping will be sufficient. I was told yes we ship all our cranks in these boxes. When I called about the shipping issue he forwarded me to the shipping company. They were no help as they said the packaging was insufficient. So at that point I had a motor that needed a full rebuild. Heads that needed to be re surfaces and new valves. And a crank with a bent reluctor that was now welded on. They blocked me on all social media platforms and will not answer my calls or calls from my lawyer. Terrible company with a terrible product and terrible service. I brought the engine to another engine builder and he said that the dart block I bought from Thompson had 0 machine work done to it. Not even crosshatching in the cylinder walls. Nothing. Lifter notes were all too tight motor was hard to spin with no head on it. Terrible job. I spent $10k with Thompson motorsports and got 0 help from them. Stick with a local reputable shop. Do not buy and product or services from them. They build 500 engines a year I was told from Kyle Thompson. How are you going to make sure every engine is perfect when your pumping out two or three a day. Would not recommend. At all.Service: Engine repair

I have used Thompsons twice now for both my engines. First build was a Dart LS 427 outlaw motor and the second and current motor I have is a fully built aluminum 5.3. Kyle and Dustin have helped me answer any questions I had with both builds and I would definitely recommend this company for anyone looking to have a custom build done.Service: Motor building

Kyle and company built me a 427 earlier in the year and it has been taking a beating without issue!! I m hard on parts and they knew that!! Great team to work with!! Being in business myself I know how tuff the Industry can be, we all want a friend in the businesses no matter what that business may be, and for me and my engines he s been that friend.

I recently purchased a TMS 383 short block. The salesman I dealt with was Kevin Mabe. Before buying the motor Kevin was awesome and a huge help answering my 100s of questions and going out of his way to make sure I had everything I needed. I was quoted 4-5weeks and received my engine in about 3 weeks. Opening the crate the engine was super clean and packed very very nice and neat. Fast forward a few weeks later the engine performed amazing on the Dyno picking up a lot before turning up my previous tune. First day at the track with this new setup I ran a personal best both 1/8 mile and 1/4 mile. I will not share my ETs or power #s as I race No Time, but it makes some steam for sure. I ve since changed the oil twice and cut the filter open with no surprises.Service: Motor building

Thomson Motorsports has been great to deal with. I've bought two engines from them now my second one was (not without issue) the lifters had a manufacture defect inside the hydraulic portion it was (not Thomson fault) the lifters ended up holding the valves open and causing fuel wash to the cylinders which scarred the cylinder walls. I sent my motor back to them they took care of it a 100% and now it's running better than ever.I will definitely be doing business with these guys in the future and would recommend anybody to buy an engine from them they stand behind their product even if it's not their fault.

I haven t been handled in the correct manner no one has called me back I purchased a motor in July I was told 4 to 6 weeks build time and it has been 11 plus weeks no manger would even come to the phone and talk to me after my money was spent. I m highly disappointed and upset. I bought it through Mayhem Motorsports out of North Carolina.Service: Engine repair

I had TMS build an outlaw 1800hp 427 LS short block. I had a little bit of confusion at the beginning but with Kyle s and Dustins help, I gained a ton of knowledge and understanding. I m grateful and when and if I need another short block, TMS is at the top of a VERY a short list of trusted builders. Thanks again guys for your professionalism, patience, and most of all class. Semper Fidelis . Thank you for your service.Service: Motor building

I'm in the middle of building a 1000+hp twin turbo LS pontiac G8. I'd been contemplating were to buy the shortblock from when I saw an add on social media for the Thompson motorsports engine of the month sale.An all forged 388ci LSX block package capable of whatever I can throw at it. At an unbelievable value then to make it even better they packaged it with Frankenstein dynamics 6 bolt heads to make it a long block! The engine arrived ahead of schedule. So much so my shop hasn't had time to get the car in yet. Instead I'm just staring at work of art in the garage. As soon as next race season starts I'll be making tons of vids at the track and tagging you in posts. Thanks Thompson motorsports! Will definitely recomend to others.Service: Motor building

I purchased a 408 stroker from them and I took it to a tuner. He told me that something was wrong with the reluctor and that he couldn't tune it. He kept my tbss for about 4 months. I get it back and park it in my garage for about 6 months while I went out of town for work. When I got back I took it to a different tuner and he kept it for a couple weeks. He told me the same thing. The reluctor was messed up. So I go pick it up and get it home, crank it up and it's knocking like hell. I'm out about 12k. I wouldn't let them build me a lawnmower engine.Service: Motor building

Seriously, if you want the same feeling you get after walking into your best friends house unannounced, rummaging through the fridge, and taking a nap on their couch, you need to speak with Dustin.We are running behind on being ready for the Power Tour, so Dustin went out of his way to find us a set of heads that would both work well with our set up and arrive in time before Power Tour. Dustin helped me with every question I had, and gave us the best price! I really couldn't say enough fantastic things about this company and Dustin. so, SHOUT OUT to Dustin for helping a girl out!

Go to Texas speed or shafiroff. This place ships you the motor without dyno then surprise! Your 650 HP 427 for 20 grand makes 580.. I should of bought a junk yard LS3 and stuck a cam In it made more then there build.. Had tons of trouble, drove down twice to fix never there fault. Go to honest place. Bought two shaffiroff engines now 454 LS big dog with dyno sheet for 18995 made 770 hp on pump gas. Absolute ripper. Look them up won't be sorry!
