BC Forcefed Racing

Looking at having an engine built for my Rx-4 by Forcefed Racing in Vancouver I was just wondering if anyone else on here has dealt with them.
I talked to Marko for a long time today and he seems very helpful and loves to over build his blocks.
He has quoted me a decent price and offers full tuning as well. So I am leaning towards getting him to build me a motor.

Any info good or bad from people who have recieved his services?

Forcefed has been around for little while and have built a lot of engines for the guys on bcrotary.com.

http://www.forcefedracing.ca/

There are some people that absolutely swear by them, and some people who hate them..... like any shop. From what I've seen, their focus is on drag racing and making the most power. Marko tuned my car and I had no complaints. Have a look at their site and have a look around bcrotary.com (don't expect too much constructive on there though!) and you'll get a good idea of what they are all about. But go with your gut - if you like Marko and what he can offer, then great!

I've also had work done at:

Staff's Auto Centre
North Vancouver, BC

and

Eunos Custom Automotive
North Vancouver, BC

Chris at Eunos built my last engine. It only has about 2000k on it now, and so far so good.

Personally, when I lived in Vancouver I didn't take my car there. I know some of the people that used to be business partners with Marko, and I got to see some of his work. His work very much seems to be very hot or very cold.

I moved back to the east coast in 2007, so much could have changed since then, but through hearsay, I haven't heard that much has. I think that there are much more skilled builders out there, and I know there are more skilled tuners.

I'd say ForceFed seems to know what they're doing.
