I’m from Canada. I’ve spoken with Dave couple times on the phone a few years back. Great guy, and very knowledgeable. I wanted to use his services but customs dollar exchange was brutal, couldn’t justify cost.. His stuff works! Do a search on here. His 103 kit puts out nice power... check YouTube for Dave MackievEngineering...

good luck


Joe

Curious, what are you having them do. I've been to Dave's shop a few times.

I run his 598 cams on my 117" FLTRI freeway flyer at 11:1. Great high compression touring cam. Very quiet

Port and polish heads and throttle body . Take the 88" to a 95" They bore out a "hemispherical " combustion chamber with domed pistons. New valves and seats. Heavy duty springs. Gear drive cam and cutting in compression releases. I believe there 510 cam is what i chose. Check out there website. Seems legit. I know a guy who ran a shop for a few years and he sent a few motors off to Dave Mackie and said they were fantastic. So far, they have been good. They answer the phone when you call, honest and up front. Parts should be done around the end of March. But they did say they are back ordered on the cam. Fortunately, the cam is due in the 3rd week pf March also. So maybe the timing will be right. Thanks for the reply.
