We have two local sponsor shops that build engines so I'm sure either can get you taken care of.

if no one local has one, buy one from jm fabrications and take it to a machine shop.

keep it, then rent it out to local people.

Yes just like when u buy a mini battery kit, it's just some other company's battery with a sticker and a higher price tag. Kevin won't rip you off though so that's why I go to him regardless if he outsources.

From what I have ever heard there is only one place in DFW that rips people off and its not Cobb or EVO D

Tony Palo, Cobb and several other people have Watt build their engines. Kevin uses someone else. Watt pretty much has stopped dealing with the public and unless you have done business with him before he will likely tell you to go through a shop. IE T1, Cobb or Mudpit. I have called Watt for Gramdollar to see if he will do his machine work.
