NOVA Motor Build, Install, Tune?
NOVA Motor Build, Install, Tune? If I were looking for a good place in the northern VA area to have a motor built, installed, and tuned yet didnt want to lose and arm n leg in the process who would you recommend?
i have lived here all my life and asked this question so many times, but there arent very many speed shops around here. There is a shop near dulles airport called mach 5. They had a blown magnum with 600 to the crank, a nice *** viper with over 500 to the wheel and i think it was a 57 chevelle with an ls1 swap goin in it. They can build engines, exhaust, suspension, whatever, cept they dont have gm software so u'd have to find another tuner. They also do custom exhaust, TiG welding, mandrel bends, etc. I will say one thing tho, they are mainly an import shop. Ill be takin my car there to get suspension stuff installed and allign my suspension, maybe some engine work but thats about it.
I don't know of any shops that build LSx type motors around here. I had mine built by HPE and sent to PSI in Glen Burnie, MD where I get all of my tuning and work that I don't have time to get done. The number is 410-766-7774 and the guy that runs the shop is Jeff. Good luck getting ahold of him though as he stays very busy and away from the phones. Might be best to PM him on here - GrannySShifting.
Yeah I tried Jeff and PhilSVT - nothing back from either one.
Oh well I guess I could wait till I head out west for a few weeks. Thats one great thing about the west coast!

give jeff some time. he and tom are pretty much the only guys that do the work there and run the place. and are always very busy. but you will be getting 100% quality work from very knowledgeable people.
You might want to PM choppin-suey he is there very frequently helping jeff or working on his own car there and can get you the info you need.
