Default Has Anyone here used Korman Autoworks before?

http://www.kormanautoworks.com/index.html

quick sidestory. I have a 1974 bmw 2002 that's been sitting since 1990. it's in good condition except the interior's a bit torn up and then the usual wear. All the fluids were changed before it was stored. I've checked no rust, or other big problems. I want to get the engine(M10) redone to a high performance spec. Has anyone used Korman before? They're relatively local (shop is in Greensboro, NC.) Does anyone have any other places they recommend i could take the car to have the engine redone? I can do some stuff here at my place but i honestly lack the resources (and some of the know how when it comes to doing it safely) Any input would be muchly appreciated. If any mods feel this belongs in the technical forum please move it for me if you can. Anyway thanks for taking the time to read this post and any help you can give.

No, they're only one of the most respected names in BMW tuning/racing, nobody has used them.

Has anybody ever heard of Brumos Porsche? I want to buy a car, but I'm not sure I can trust them.

yea, that's what i've heard so i'm trying to find someone doing it cheaper but you usually get what you pay for. The car was my aunts and she gave it to me since she's widowed, has no kids and has no use for it, so i won't complain, lol.
