Default Need a shop for custom headers and other fab work

Hey guys, I had a guy in Bedford that was going to build my headers, but I haven't heard back from him. I need to drop my truck off in the next week to get custom headers made and some fab work done for the fuel cell. Any recommendations? Thanks.

LOL I'd love turbos, but I think the 11.2:1 cr might be a problem.

I sent him a pm, forgot that I had already been talking to him about headers. I swear I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on LOL

I wish I could have gone turbo'd, this block can handle pretty much anything I throw at it, but for now it'll just have to be a lot of juice. But in a few years when it's ready for a refresh, I might have to go back to boost.
