Hey I just ask a shop up in Wallingford called East Side Performance and they said you might want to give Valley Auto Machine in Seymor a call. They said the guy Pete there does great work.

We use CDP or Custom Design Performance, in Columbia, CT.

If you do decide to go there tell him Jeff Pulaski sent you (my dad)! Our club uses him for most of out work and he knows what he is doing. Plus he pays contingency for us in our club!

To give you an example he did my dads heads (milling and assembly) and with just GT-40P (iron explorer heads, unported) heads, Cobra intake, throttle body, MAM, injectors, exhaust and gears he went 12.64 @ 108.

Basically they come highly recommended by me, my dad, and any other MHRA racer!

I had all my machine work done at Soltice Speed Equipment. They hot tanked, bored and honed my block, pressed my pistons onto rods, and decked my old heads. Real nice guys and they do great work. They had most of the work done the next day. I only had to wait 3 days for the block to be done. They're in torrington, CT
