Just call some sponsors. And talk to them. And go with the one that listens and you feel most comfortable with

I just purchased mine from thompson motorsports... Kyle, the owner, has spent probably over an hour already on the phone with me talking about this and that and made several phone calls on my behalf.

He beat out other major sponsors prices on my short block by a grand, a full 1000$. Most smaller parts on average are 30-50$ cheaper than other sponsors. He didn't try to up sell parts I didn't need, he was straight forward. I even pushed for one piece and he said he would do it if I wanted but it really wasn't needed for what I wanted.

I have been VERY impressed so far and would recommend them. They also offer some building options that most other sponsors won't even consider (for you strict budget guys).

-Link/number in sig... Website is a bit of a pain.. Just call and talk to Kyle, tell him what you want, what you have to spend, and goals... He will give you your options.
