In 2024, I purchased a longblock from Borowski. Due to life getting in the way, I did not install it until 2025 and did not try to get it running until 2026. It was definitely out of warranty based on time. However, the engine wouldn't start when I tried. I reached out to Ken and he gave me the advice of trying a new crank sensor (the original crank sensor was supplied and installed by me) based on my description of what the engine was doing citing there has been a bad batch of crank sensors available. He also indicated if this didn't fix the issue, he was willing to work further on figuring out why the engine wouldn't start. Lo and behold, the new crank sensor fixed the problem, and I was finally able to start the engine. Kudos to Ken and Company for being willing to work with me well after the warranty was up. The communication from my initial phone call inquiries to now has been fantastic and Ken took the time to send pictures throughout the build process.

Ive had a great experience working with Ken and Tim, from designing the engine to meet the specific needs of a drag and drive car to updating and modifying it as I changed the car over time. Theyโ€™ve provided incredible support, knowledge, and advice. Just this season I put almost 3,000 miles on the engine and ran a best e.t. 7.00 and a best 198 mph.

I wanted 750hp and these guys easily got me over 1000hp ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ, working with Ken was great. Very informative person in what he does. Kept me super updated on my build not just with text, but pictures and videos also. Helped me not just with my engine built but everything needed to support it. Joe was awesome also, really easy to talk too, guys made me feel more than a customer. I highly recommend Borowski, I definitely would come back for future builds.

After over a year of research and looking at many of the top engine builders I reached out to Borowski racing to talk about an engine build. I immediately felt the passion and the care that would be going into my engine and we decided to move forward. While building a custom car Iโ€™ve dealt with many different companyโ€™s and Borowski has been head and shoulders above the rest. Ken has been in constant contact with me since day one keeping me up to date with the progress and making sure the engine is inline with my end goal. They offer great value for the money and their customer service is top notch. Iโ€™m very happy with the experience and if youโ€™re considering using them do yourself a favor and do it!

I had a nice TT 427 built by Ken and the Borowski team around 5 years ago. I loved the engine so much I transferred it to a new car I had built 3 years ago and been running in that since. Its been such a solid motor that I ordered another from them for a new build. I just received the solid roller 427 beast! Ken has always been helpful and is there when we need him. They have earned a loyal customer that will always go to them for future projects. Thanks guys!
