just depends on what you want. i recommend researching heymow and getting quotes from machinists online. Tell them what you want in your motor and they will set you up..

^ very common.. call them up
If it was me I would go with precision.. Just be sure to call them up and tell them what your going to be doing and the rpms your going to be running and they will help you out..
