The best?

One who is closest to you...
One who has a good tuner operator...
One who has a dyno...
One who stands behind his work...

Chris Rivas V-Twin in Fresno, California.

Ten Bonneville World Speed Records on Harleys and Buells that he built...in one year. AMA #1 plate that year.

He also has a custom line of cams available through Drag Specialties.

I had one of his cams and his dyno tune on my '15 RGS. Bone stock motor other than the cam, V&H Pro Pipe, and his tune: 98-108 at the rear tire.

He's top-notch.

This is the "best" answer. I would like to add "One who gets repeat customers"
