Go with Halls. He's one of the only builders that still gets good reviews lately.

^^^ what they said.

HPR has my top end done, just a carb & intake manifold mod needed.

Great communication, his reputation is top notch. Just be aware he has jobs lined up. Adjust your expected completion date accordingly.

HPR or Carl Batlett either one I've never used but have only heard good things. No matter what you do avoid MHR like the plague!!

Shearer steered me toward Carl for my zilla engine. I don't think Carl has a dyno though and damn I wish I took Mat's advice.

You will have to hope jerry has a roller there and you will pay extra for the labor to mount and test.

Whatever happened to 500fanatic?
He did some great work at good prices, and made lots of custom parts.
Don't recall if he has a dyno or not...or even if he's still doing it anymore.

Stock with stacked Answer Roost Boost boxes. Its a scary ride!!

Really, stock for the 250/500 is the on way to go. A couple guys run PVL, but they tend to be finicky.
