Default Engine builder/tuner - Palm Beach County?

Hey guys,

Just bought me a new 20’ Low Rider S. I’m getting ready to buy a 128” big bore kit for it. Does anyone highly recommend a builder and tuner for me?? I don’t have the means or the time to do the work myself so I’m hoping to find someone with tons of experience to do it for me. I have zero idea on where to go. I’ve been out of the game for a while so I’ve lost all my contacts for companies I’ve worked with.

Thanks!!
Adrian

As suggested, talk to Kirby BEFORE you buy the 128 big bore kit. Google VeeTwin Performance for contact information.

I'm in Delray Beach and KIrby does excellent work, i can attest to that. If you come by in the very near future, I can show you some of his headwork, as i have some that were just freshly done that I have not installed yet and would be happy to show you.

Docs performance tuning in Minneola Fla is another one that does excellent work. I'm not sure how far that is from you.
