Default Looking to send my Black Hawks out for rebuild/upgrade advice?

Running a Scarab P29 looking to upgrade to XR gears etc. Want to be able to handle 500hp safely. Port out drive already has something broken, popped it two weeks ago. Wondering what you guys recommend for shops to do the work and or any experiences you have had with your Black Hawks.

Thanks, Justin

I'll check them out, they are only about 45 mins away from me that would be convenient. Do they normally do upgrades or are they more of a factory repair shop? thanks Justin
