Default Who is most respected Engine Builders on the WEST Coast?

So I have one of my s2000's that I'm planning to build into a weekend race car and want the ultimate engine setup.

Plans are to lower compression, maybe use some titanium rods, stronger crankshaft, and fortify the engine for running 10+lbs on a Paxton Supercharger setup.

Who do you guys trust as the best engine builder's / tuners out on the west coast? I'm relatively new to this and prefer someone local in Norcal since shipping a motor is not exactly a walk in the park.

Any respected motor guys in SOCAL or NORCAL?


thanks
rick

Can't you safely run 10psi on stock everything? If I were doing an engine build I would personally either go with higher boost or just not bother with the engine based on the research/info I've seen, but I could be wrong.

for 10 psi i wouldn't open the motor, these motors are very strong and it could run 10 psi for a long time

ENDYN was pretty reputable. They used to port/polish/modify the jackson racing superchargers for preludes; that's where I know of them from. Never heard of any complaints about their work. But when I was going to build my block I was actually going to send it to Laskey.
