hey just wondering if anybody has bought engine parts from this company and any thoughts? I looked at the bbb report which doesnt look to good but i didnt know if these reports meant the people never got the product or it was just late? because on the website it says parts are custom ordered any may take 3-4 weeks or more to deliver? any help thanks just looking for a good dealer to get all my ecotec performance parts

Noob here. Been on and off of this site for quite some time and have learned alot of things that I have put to good use....So thanks to all.

I own a 2003 Saturn Ion QC 2.2 engine, that I am building a cylinder head for using after market parts. Not looking for high end race performance stuff since I use it as a daily driver. Keeping stock valve train except want to upgrade the valves. While looking to see if there is any other option other than LSJ Valves because the intakes are costly, or Ferrea valves I accross the follwing

http://www.allecotec.com/product_info.php?cPath=1_60&products_id=115
Has anyone had any experience good or bad with theses valves? I can't find out who makes them or any specs on them.

I'm not building anything that will ever put out more than 200-225 horses.
Adding stage 1 comp cams
adjustable cam gears
Stock springs
Stock rockers or followers
Stock valve lash adjusters
Don't have Nitrous and don't plan on it.
No turbo or supercharging of any kind.
Just some good old engine/ecm tuning.

Thanks Again.

call Karo at All ecotec, talk to him, he can give you the info your looking for. like I said good people to deal with and knowledgeable too. I have dealt with them several times over the years, always professional. check out SI valves as well not too costly and a good product from what I hear.

I can vouch for Karo @ allecotec and carcustoms...... I've been buying from him for YEARS. Great guy.

Mantapart...... IF you do any business with them, do COD!!! I've heard WAY to many horror stories (even have a couple of my own) about them over the years.....
