    let's just make this easy for you, boo. Everyone in Atlanta uses Eagle Machine Shop pretty much. I know there are a few exceptions. Ask for Frank and tell him that Tracy sent you. He will treat you very well. You can also inquire with him about who he trusts for installation and tuning. He gets to see all of the innards of the engine when he gets them from whatever shop. He knows who makes motors detonate and who doesn't 770-339-3053

    Both TS and BG use the same machine shop We've been using them since our Supra was the first import they ever worked on 6 years ago (they machined our Supra when it was in the 8's. We gave them all of the clearances they hit the #'s. They have the equipment. Dan has th knowledge). If you like, you can ask him he prefers to work with. He can see it on the pistons when he opens up the engine AND HE HAS NOTHING TO LOSE IN ALL OF THIS. So he will be honest. You have to keep in mind that the clearances are one of the keys th building an engine....we give them our clearance #'s and then we file fit our own rings and such.

    and that my friends, is how a REAL machine shop is run. and Batlground sounds like they are dead on the money. You give the machinist what YOU want and their goal is to meet YOUR requirements. Thats what we do, and thats the way to do it.

    ring gap
    piston to wall clearance
    roundness of the bore
    bearing clearances

    that is what makes a motor BUILT and make power. anyone can throw pistons in. thats the difference between ASSEMBLING a motor, and BUILDING a motor
