we have 4 independent speed oriented machine shops here in San Antonio (Alamo Performance, Mission, Janke Race engines, Kendrick's) and I won't endorse one over the other here as I have relations with 3 of the 4 listed. The way it goes down here if it's not a Chevy or small block Ford you are S.O.L. Yeah, I know they are the most prevalent but dang! Plus if you ain't on their "Big Timers list", you can forget it because you will be the last in line. My business partner was a store manager for Super Shops (remember them!) here in S.A. so we still have a little (very little) pull when it comes to getting something done but the individuals are ran over down here unless you are trying to bust a big ticket item.
