      NC has a lot of race winning engine shops & one that i use is HED in Mooresville NC even though i live 15 minutes from TKM. ( Nothing against TKM )
      I go to HED because I've known him for 20+ years.

      @@Brooks336 we are fortunate to have a lot of awesome shops between here SC and Virginia. I use Scott Duggins PAR Racing Engines. I used Steve Morris, but moving down here and James turning me on to him 5 yrs ago I been very happy. He keep pistons, rods, crans, lifters, cams, and all that on the shelf he repairs all blocks in house, has his own head program one bad place. I use my buddy Curtis and Dan at RFD (Race Flow Development) for heads and intakes.

    You guys have it made it your areas when come to racing engine shops here in Southern California there are almost no shops like this here.And the ones that do have a decent shop claim that can’t find anyone to help them are they are not willing to pay them what they are worth even if they are just starting off.I had a engine at one time sit in a machine shop/engine shop for a year and it still never got touched I had to take it to another shop.It’s INCREDIBLE

      It would if all of the ones in commiefornia would move to red states like Edelbrock did AND start manufacturing parts in the USA again instead of CHINA like Holley is doing i'd say 75% of Holley's stuff is made in CHINA.
