Default Any recommendations for a local VA bike engine builder?

I am in need of a somewhat local engine builder that is capable of building a CBR engine. Just curious if any of you have any experience with any local builders and can give honest recommendations. Quality is of the utmost concern, as I can't afford to have it crap out on me due to a bad build.

you want a stock build or are you looking to do some performance mods?

i'd say that i'd do it, but i have a few motor jobs already in the works, i guess it would depend on when you're trying to get something done.

i know some really good motor guys in the 757, but don't really know too many in your area.

It would be a performance buildup, not a factory build.
