I've already spoken with Nick who seems like a fantastic guy. I tried to contact Anderson Performance, but nobody called me back so I guess they aren't THAT interested in a 50k build, their loss. I know a lot of the guys use RPE up in the East and I really can't seem to find any site or quality info on Duttweiller. Obviously I know who he is but I'd like to see a site, cars, etc.....and I cannot seem to find any collection of organized info in one place.

My buddy made 1013 out of a DLS stage 2 motor. Dan has done MANY other high HP builds.

Im pretty sure Dan has been building Buick stage motors sense Buick motorsports started making them. He worked at a shop that built them for ARCA cars for years (And won Championships)during the development If i didnt build my own motors it would be Dan for sure...Gene Fleury

Dan at DLS built my latest S2 engine and it did everything it was advertised to do and more, set the TSO record and won the race even though I cut a HORRIBLE light in the finals also.
Dan can and will help you with the component selection to compliment the engine. He will not steer you wrong. He is at home with BIG HP S2 engines and his shop if full of them.I consider Dan the BEST in the business. Reliability is second to none.

If i were you i would give Ken Duttweiler a call at 805-659-3648 he is like the Godfather of turbo cars and there are alot of articles on him building extreme engines in HotRod magazines and my favorite GM High Tech. Just type in Duttweiler buick v6 and i am sure you will find something.

I don't think you can go wrong with anybody mentioned.
If you are located in Vegas you should drive to Duttweiler's shop before you make a decision. I think he operation, specifically his dyno room will give you an idea of what he can do for you. PM me if you have any questions.

I agree with John, take the trip down to his shop and you will be very impressed with all of the projects you will find at his shop. You indicated you want the best and only want to do it once, he is the man to go see. There are others as mentioned above that can do it too. Based on your location though it is well worth it to have your engine builder close by relatively speaking. John Gallina lives in Vegas, so does Len Freeman you can go talk to them first before you drive down to Saticoy. Hope this helps |

I have heard of Gallina/Freeman, but again, no decent collection of data or informational website. Some of these people really need to get some quality websites up so prospective customers know what they are getting into. Honestly, without advice from the community, you would never know where to FIND some of these guys. Last edited by VegasSE; March 25th, 2008 at 08:53 PM. |

Dan for a while now and he is a straight shooter. He won't put something in your car he does not believe in. First rate in all phases of engine building. Good luck with your build.

I'll give some info Call Dan he can do it better than anyone else. And when you are done with it playing around call me I will buy it from you. I wish I still had mine he did for me. He has done 4 motors for me. Oh the Dyno don't tell the tale you have to prove it on the track

![]() As for the need for decent websites, I'm not ripping on anyone, I'm giving feedback from a potential customer perspective. A nicely organized website with info, pictures, customer cars, testimonials, description of services, etc......would help me as a CUSTOMER immensely. Without you guys, I simply wouldn't know where to turn. I just wish it was a little EASIER to spend money with someone, that's all. Thank God for the knowledgeable members of this forum or I would be lost.

I'd be more worried about doing business with a company who has a great website but has no records or reputation at the track. Duttweiler, Dan and RPE have reps at the track and in the record books. You can't go wrong with any of them, location would be my deciding factor.

And have him build your engine A stock block engine he built several years ago was going the speed that everyone is now catching up to.You want the Best of the Best. I'll say you found him. I learn something new every time I stop in his shop. Just my opinion. |

That's beside the point, but I'd assume that shops would like to know this from a CUSTOMER perspective. Give me 5 choices, all with equal reputation, and I'll most likely choose the one who best presents his product. There are a LOT of wealthy guys out there who can't even find the information they are looking for and it makes it difficult for us to spend money. My point was, there could be a guy in Boise Idaho who's the best engine builder on earth and unless I was DEEP into the community in which he built engines for, I'd never know who the heck he was, but if he had a nice professional website with customer testimonials, pictures, display of services, etc.....he could be off a dirt road in the middle of nowhere and I could still find him. If it wasn't for THIS website, I wouldn't even know where to start either. Once again I will say, thank GOD for the members of this site because I wouldn't really know where to start without you guys.

DLS, RPE, Anderson Performance have proven themselves in heads up competition. I would not make a decision based on a 1000hp S2 engine thrown in a potato chip throwing down a number here and there. I also agree with Kiblers comment about Dynos and proving it on the track.

I agree....
on the aforementioned builders. Duttweiler was one of the pioneers and since he's close to you geographically, check him out. Dan (DLS) is deeply involved in the Buick community and has built a winning reputation for powerful motors.
I understand and share your same thoughts on websites and the ability to sell to the public and grab their attention. Unfortunately, that doesn't translate 1 for 1 in the Buick community. Like you mentioned, it's such a niche market, that word of mouth and bulletin boards are all that's needed to promote a product and or service. I was wondering when you'd come to this section of the board considering the HP the rest of your stable is churning out. Considering there doesn't seem to be a price ceiling on any of your rides, you may want to look into having a T/A all aluminum stage motor built. Welcome to the board and whatever route you decide to take, please keep the rest of us updated with progress pictures as I'm sure this will be one incredible ride. |

Oh, you can't. I remember that year when he MOWED through the competition in S-16 in BG 05. He was able to win races with that combo and that is impressive to say the least!!!

Ok so you have read what we wrote Yes Pick one! Or just find a web site you like and tell them you have 20k to spend and I bet they can give you a 1500hp V6 One of the kind never before never again built motor. Oh ya before I for get that was on a DYNO (good luck at the track with it).Web sites are for people that have more time to punch keys then being in the shop building BAD ASS MOTORS

Also, the dyno video and graph are VITAL to why I'm building all these cars. They are vehicles, no pun intended, for a major multimedia project I am directly involved in. It's not a simple choice of "just pick one". They need to display well, perform well, and have the numbers to back up everything. If I was building a race car to take to the track each weekend, I'd care only about the ET. That's not the case at all in this circumstance. We have MUCH bigger plans for all of these cars.
