Ft. Dodge, IA or Surrounding Speed Shops?

Does anyone know of any speed shops (high performance shops) in or around the Ft. Dodge, IA area?

It is looking like my 91 Camaro RS is going to be stored there due to employment & thought maybe I could get some work started on the engine from a reputable shop in the area.

I thought they were just parts dealers. I looked at JR's website & it said nothing about service & I assumed Midwest was just parts since I have there recent catalog sitting here.

I'll have to give them a call then.

Best way to modify your car is to do the work yourself. Having machine work done... yeah take that to a shop, but if you can do things yourself you know how it works and when it breaks you know how to fix it.

I know what your daying & I would prefer to do the work myself, BUT.......


When your a Truck Driver with children you rerally don't have time to do it. I would much rather pay a shop to do what I want and spend more quality time with my children.
