He used to do alot of small custom stuff himself (adjustable cam 
sprockets etc.) but he stopped - it takes alot of time and he can't justify
passing that type of cost to a customer unless they really need it bad.

I'm sure he knows a few good machine shops.  In his youth he chased
power (by his account), but he realized that without a dynamometer he 
was losing alot to trial and error (his specialty/degree is in fuel 
management systems and now most of his upgrades are turbo 
applications).
