ive never seen their headwork but i do take my blocks there for boring and the other machine work. Binghamton Honda's adon graves ported my head and it made great power on my turbo setup. He is a very well known motorcycle mechanic and is great with both 4 stroke and 2 stroke engines.

When I was there, they told me that they send to GE for sleeving. I did not see a serdi in their shop, and was not really shown around either, so I dunno how their headwork is, but you will pay a nice big penny for it. Just left me with the impression that they get a big name from sending their big jobs to other places and charging lots for it. But I dunno...... Someone prove me wrong.

I myself and several friends have had headwork done at rpm in binghamton and I thought personally they did a great job and where very friendly. The owner even went as far as calling me at work when my head was ready to go when he couldnt reach me at home.

rpm gets a from me

Which RPM are you talking about there is an RPM in Queens Village and sounds like there is another one in Binghampton. The one in RPM seem to be a good shop but I think you can find better RPM charges a hell of alot and there are shops who do just as good if not better for less money.

I've used RPM-NYC in the past and would use them in the future. Tommy is very knowledgeable and upstanding individual. They have been around at least 6-7 years.

RPM NYC In Queens is a very good shop all of its owners are very good people and trust worthy.
Rpm NYC is one of ARIAS's larger customers.
AS for the head work They have done some big name people like Bergenholtz Sav Leone Leevon Eisele He has even done heads for Rado. So if you ask if they do good head work yes his list of customers speeks for its self.


There phone number is 718-740-3277

To my knowledge rampage is closed and has been so for a more then year, Ralphy over at DRT has their Dyno. Drt does good work Ralphy is excellent his prices arent to bad and he actually has done work for Lip the allmotor mod. You can contact Greg Samaroo aka CHEETAH he does work try him out. Nrg Tech in Dix hills area does good work to try them.

HELL YEAH. I ALSO CHOSE GREG AT CHEETAH RACING CAUSE HIS PRICES ARE DECENT AND HE DOES GREAT WORK. HIS PARTS ARE NOT ALL THAT EXPENSIVE. THE BUILT LONG BLOCKS THAT HE HAS ARE DECENT PRICES. I HAVE SEEN BUILT BUILT SI LONG BLOCKS THAT WERE ABLE TO PUT DOWN 200 WHEELS HORSEPOWER.

I AM GOING TO HAVE AN LSVTEC DONE BY HIM SOON.HOPEFULLY. BUMP FOR A GRETA GUY
