dragbanshee Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 All I can tell you is my experience but it took about 2 weeks totals with mine. How much faster could it get? Depending on shipping method it could take up a to week or longer just for shipping. Most of the time is shipping, he must be quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYUK Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 i have had many motors built over the years, when builders told me 3 month turn around it took 6. i recently had 2 top ends ported by kevin herr. 1 week turn around. sent them on mondays they were back in the mail next mon. no bullshit. cylinders fit perfect in a large usps flat rate box, 14.00 with room for packing. cranks fit perfect in a smaller flat rate box, 11.00. with packing. both with tracking.

bode1 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 I just sent mine to HJR. I sent them priority mail with my carbs. It was 31.80 for shipping ( I think the weight was like 14 lbs) and it took 2 days to get there from NJ. He told me they would be shipped in 2 weeks from him receiving them, however I have heard other people state they got theirs back in less than the time promised. So far his responses to any question have been immediate, and he seems very knowledgeable and willing to answer all my stupid questions, and seems like a super nice guy. I can't wait to get mine back together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bode1 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 P.S. It was like $5.00 more dollars with UPS and going to take 5 days rather than 2 when I stopped in with my box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToomeySheeLE Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I'd like to throw another vote out there for Flotek.... Excellent work and turn around time... I think my 4mm port is stronger than most other 4mm jobs, and its very fair prices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 i talked to Jeff @ FAST a few weeks ago and he was so busy with motors that he hadnt checked HQ in like a month.. i talked to him a few days later and he told me he had like 55 PM's about parts and motors.. i think he told me that he had like 40 something motors to either port or build.. theres a reason for that.

Yeah the mans been busy as hell for quite sometime for sure. However a couple days ago I had talked to him and he said that he is actually starting to catching up.. For quite a while when I had seen threads like this I didn't even mention him because I knew he was swamped and turnaround was way out.. But now it sounds like he will be able to do some porting and have it back in a reasonable time.. So, although he may not be able to have it back in two weeks as people are saying Kevin can(which is amazing btw) I think he is to the point to where the turnaround is reasonable.. Maybe he will chime in and be able to give everyone a ballpark for that.. But like you said Loco, there is deffnatly a reason why he is almost always hammered..

FASTOYS Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 why? he drinks a lot?? :yelrotflmao: im fuckin funny!!! Hell loco, im a cheap drunk as i never drink much, give me a few beers and im loopie. : ) Thanks for the props fellas as we try very hard to make each and every motor F.A.S.T. as it can be. Id like to think good things are worth the wait and porting is one of them. We have done extensive testing and run against the competition with overwhelming results. We are getting much better on wait time too as at 1 time it was 6-8 months out and now (after weeks and weeks of late nights) we are down to only 2-3 weeks which isnt bad considering what your getting. We dont like to "rush" cyl. porting just to knock em out the door in cookie cutter style. We'd rather it take alittle longer and KNOW the job is done right and the WOW factor is there on the first ride out. Seems alot of people base a good port job on how long it takes or how cheap it was. Its also nice to support those who help support the HQ site. Please do your homework and check around. :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
