I would also highly recomend Stephen. I have gotten to know Stephen over the last few months and have tremendous respect for his integrity as a businesman. He also knows how to build an engine, that is for sure.

A motor should be dry assembled then taken apart, measured, adjusted and reassembled. This is the only way to build a motor. Period. FWIW this is called Blue printing.

Yes it has... Just recieved a call from my brother that his car is almost ready for the weekends event and for once I'll be the slower one. I won't be able to beat his Vette, but I do miss atleast have a clear advantage on everything else.. I like to bring a Nuke to a Knife fight!

this is partly why custom jobbies like what Markski has are so labor intensive, because the fuel and ignition maps have to be done specifically for each car.
but you know the saying... all good things take time

Rob,
their are (4) cars currently being built with extensive head work:
Markski's: Appears to breathe pretty well...
Divexxtremes: I saw his new cams and saw his heads (before porting)
Divexxtremes next door neighbor (name?): is getting some MAJOR headwork.
CJV: Has done ALOT of research and last time I heard his heads were at the same place as all the others listed above: (Protomotive)
Their difference is simple (all work under one roof: port/polish/modify/build/tune) in the same building.
Other great choices as well, ie, The Doctor in KC, EVOMS in AZ,
UMW in Washington.
Everybody does it a little different with different results:
Look at Ohio GT2's numbers Without Headwork; Holy Crapola!!
It is great to have all of these great choices!
