LE is in Texas ... not sure where AI is.

LE's site: http://elliottsportworks.com/
Ai's site: http://www.advancedinduction.com/

Can't go wrong with either company.

... Ill be selling my XFI 280 cam sometime next month. Makes a great daily driver cam in a 383. Search my screen name on youtube for a few clips.

AI is in North Carolina - neither of which are local. They are both porting services.
