Bob Sweeny, in Mokena, 708 479 0900. They used to be called Pro-Tech.
They are absolutely the best. Bob actually co-wrote ASE performance specifications for racing engines. They do million dollar rebuilds on museum cars, plus drag, salt flat, ect ect. They just designed & built a 1500 HP 4 cylinder.
They can do anything, they do work for the other engine guys in the area, that don't have all the equipment.
