All-
I’m looking for some help and support from all of you in helping out my engine builder, Jake Sampson of Sampson Racing Engines (SRE).

Some of you are familiar with my build but he has entered my motor in Engine Builder Magazine and it is in the top 10 for ‘Engine of the Year’.

I personally gain nothing from this and I’m not sure if he does either other than a little publicity and a lot of pride......Jake is small-time but his dedication, knowledge and integrity is top notch. I was beyond hesitant after a recommendation from a friend to go see him for my build but I couldn’t be happier after spending a lot of time messaging, emailing and talking on the phone, he knows these Hemi’s like the back of his hand.
He spent A LOT of time, handling and going over every detail with me throughout this process and it didn’t matter the time of day, Jake responded or got back to me usually within minutes. That was everything to me and this is a small way to give back.

So if you could, please click on the link and vote for #3, the engine he built for me. He’s earned this! You will need to fill out your name and email to submit a vote.

Here’s the article they wrote on it a few months ago:

Thank you all for the support and let me know if you voted in this thread if you’d like!

I would have voted for yours anyway . The other engines don't interest me in any way . Essentially the offshore junkers .

I was hesitant to do so since you're not up an running yet... right? There is a picture of a longblock and a blower on the shelf. I've seen too many project go sideways when that's as far as they make it with a smile and it's all tears after that. Hopefully this guys is as stand up as it sounds, because you'll have a real beast on your hands!

Im right there with you! I had my reservations but I’m more than confident with everyone involved.

It runs and all looks great so far, we just needed Demon MAP sensors and had a BAP that wasn’t working with the twin pumps correctly. All is well now and should be ready for some numbers soon.
