If you are going up to Dallas/FW, Marvelspeed is probably your best bet as RP is on the pricey side.

So in other words, you're going to make baseless claims? Was that JUST labor? What kind of car was it?

And no, she drives something faster.

No wonder why ears were red.

Hi r0gu3,

My claims are intended to be taken with a grain of salt just like anyone else's. The proof is usually in the pudding of the actual product or service delivered. And, probably much like every other builder and specialist in this field thinks of themselves, I believe my porting work is the best. Ultimately, it's up to you guys (as customers) to fuss over who's the best and spend your money wherrever that leads. I am not hoping that he hasn't seen a modified port; quite the contrary, actually. I'm hoping he's seen many of the jobs that other individuals and shops have performed and I hope he compares them to mine.

Thanks for the vote of confidence btw, Fred.

How is it a baseless claim? I'm basing it on facts; I've told you facts. Just because I don't like walking around under lifts with no safeties and attacking the splined end of an axle with a bernier caliper doesn't automatically mean everything I say is bullshit. Most is; this isn't.

I realize you like to shake your pom-poms for MZM, but you need to realize you're the only cheerleader, and an ugly one at that.

Its baseless because anyone can call them up and ask how much to install a single axle, and I can guarantee it won't be $1000, unless you're counting the cost of parts. Yet you can produce anything that says they actually charged that.

And I don't shake my pom poms for them, I simply hate misinformation.

I really recommend going to Javier, hes been working with rotarys for years , does tuning and rebuilding and actually emails you pics of your porting so you can see the work in progress . Not to say BDC isnt good or anything , I just know experience counts and Javier has been doing it for a while a LONG while. My 2 cents

Don Marvel of Marvelspeed has been building motors since the 70's, I would give them a call and see what they can do for you.
