Dave's rebuilding my motors right now. Before I went with him, I considered a half dozen other builders. I could find some level of dirt on every one besides Dave. I dug as hard as I could to find something, but found nothing. The closer I looked, the more happy customers I found.

Coincidentally, Dave's shop is literally two miles from my house. I stop in every couple of weeks (he's there 12 hours a day every day) and he's always very honest, answers any question, and is very transparent about where he's at in the process.

And the way I look at it, he's actually cheaper than anybody else. I'd rather pay a little more for a pair of engines that will last three times as long!

Smith Power is doing mine and everything looks awesome. Timeline has slipped as I've added things and they had some trouble with their dyno. But that shop jas been through a lot and I know it will be correct when I receive it.

Joe Irwin at Fast Forward Race Engines! Best engine builder I have ever seen and I have experiance with some of biggest name engine builders out there.

Time Frame well that is a loaded question for any shop. It depends how many engines are in front of you when you drop yours off. Might be a month. Might be 3 months.

I have never personally worked with an engine builder that has taken more than 3 months to do my engines.
