NRG is in tallahassee and they do a decent job. If you just want one built(put together) We can do that.

Let me know if i can assist you, i can get parts for pretty good deals. Most of the shops around here don't do much. They are all bolt on stuff. We have our little group of guys that build our own motors and such. Mines should be done in the next few months. Paul

no but adam's automotive does, they're in crestview...about 45 minutes from p-cola and 35 from destin they tune both dee, and jody's car (because they work there, lol ) they're the import and sport compact record holders at holt. but i'd contact paul first....he's the guy 2 spots above me that just posted...he's a good guy to deal w/ btw, if going to NRG, they have a closer shop in panama city now as well...but not as big i think...well not yet at least.

Yes, dee at adam's is good, he one of my buddies and we just help eachother out when needed. Are you looking for someone to build your motor? If so, we can do it. I don't know exactly what you want to do. Just let me know. Paul

You could try Performance Plus near the military base or VT performance out by the Galleria mall. Their website is www.vtperformance.com
EDIT: I was in the marines at NAS p-cola...you'll love it man.

Ex-military. Actually P-cola is my home town. After the AF I finished some school @ PJC then got a job in the Springs. Since you're still in the Springs, are you gonna be out Friday night?

umm, nrg does have a dyno and tunes, from standalone to vafc. IM me if you want the number, call and talk to shaun. It may be a little away, but the drive is well worth it. Anyone that can custom a turbo nissan swap into a rx7 can hook your **** up.

Any navy town will have a shop that can rebuild import motors.
Also, where ever theres navy, there is rice.
When Rice Cop started, Pensacola was notorious for having the most citations.

There is V&T performance there in Pensacola, but i'd reccomend NRG in tallahassee. They do have an in-house dyno and do tuning.

Most of the shops around here have no experiences building motors. Paul
