              Solid performance, do what they say and get things done. Engine for my truck just went on the dyno and produced more HP than advertised. It did take a long time to build but I get the challenges any business has today. Despite this the business stayed in contact with me and kept me informed. In the end they delivered. Be careful of those that may be disgruntled by their performance because in the end they deliver.

              We at CME are happy to see another satisfied customer. Performance engines take awhile to get perfect because they require special and tedious care. Supply chain issues are a big issue also but we have been able get our engines done. We very much appreciate our valued customers.
