Default Speed Shop Reviews

Just asking to see if anyone recommends a particular speed shop for extensive engine modifications. I'm trying to decide between RPM in Delaware and Vengeance in Georgia. Of course, if anyone else has had a very positive experience with another shop, please let me know. Thank you in advance.

Hi Sniper:
Hopefully by now you have received the information you were looking for, but if not, I would simply say I have heard good things about both of these shops and do not recall hearing any negatives about either one. Not sure where you live, but I would suggest the shop closest to you. One option is to first drive to the shop, meet the owner, tell him what you are looking for out of your engine mods, have them show you around the shop and make sure you feel comfortable with them. They should be able to provide information on "befores and afters" of comparable engine work they have done. If after that you are feeling good, pull the trigger!

I'm moving to Florida. Right now I'm in SC. I'm still looking. I definitely will go visit the shops that I decide to ask for a quote. Right now, I'm very much leaning towards Katech
