Default Denver Area Machine Shop

Like it says I live in the Denver metro area and I am looking for a good machine shop to rebuild my LS1. I am going full forged bottom end N/A for road racing, I am going to beat on this thing (regularly 7K) so I need some one who knows what they are doing.

Any recomendations, I would even go one state away if it meant a good guy.

You could always hit up some of the speed shops and see who they recommend for machining...Clint @ AIR, Trent at CPU, Dragon Racing, MAC Autosports in Parker....

Only two machine shops I know of in the Rock...Worldwide Machinery on Perry and Wessbecker Automotive on Wilcox...but no first hand knowledge...the guys at the NAPA off of Wolfsenberger know everybody

All these shop here in denver are sketchy IMO..

If you are in CO the only shop i am really considering is RMCR. There work has been featured in GMHTP numerous times. If anything else, just make a trip to Texas Speed.

As mentioned above, there are a few shops in the area. I suppose it comes down to availability, know how, trust and price. Great thing about the internet is you have a ton of info at your fingertips. Click here to see some of the work were doing at AIR.

Let me know if you have interest.

RMCR Does good work, and if your in Colorado springs, you should go check them out. If your in denver I invite you to come by and see what we have going on here as well...

Have a good day.
