Turnkey motor project I live in the Wasington, DC area & am looking to do a big inch N/A motor for my car. I'm thinking anywhere in the Mid-Atlantic & as far west as Ohio/Illinois. After reading all the horror stories of guys building thier own setup or buying a setup & tuning locally only to have something catastrophic go wrong I'm convinced I want to have one shop build, install & tune it. Any suggestions?

I have learned that there are engine builders; and then there are the best engine builders, guys that know the secrets to making more power than their competitors. Brad Klein at Dream Chaser in Amarillo is one of those rare guys. Brad has been competing against the Bill Jenkins, Steve Schmidt and David Reher-type racers since 1970. If you want the most power, call Brad. If you want a reliable motor, call W2W, Futral, LPE.

Mark, good idea looking for a competent builder. No one around here that Ive found has proven to be so far. Theres a few people Id trust to do my stuff, and that would do my customers stuff. Unfortunately Ive seen the best and worse of almost everyone around
