Call him. Tell him what you're looking for. He will not want to work on it if you piece-meal and not fix it right. Jim is top-notch, no BS, and fair.

Jim is a good guy, knows his stuff and definitely not one to BS.

I've been using Bob Lloyd at Full Throttle Marine, he is definitely a performance guy. He's building my custom engines right now. He has his own dyno too which is nice if you're doing any upgrades.

I think those are really your only two choices when it comes to big power in Austin.

Yeah my boat is at Jim's now and I spent some time talking to him. Seems like the man knows his stuff!!! I feel confident he will do a good job and be fair with me.
