    I'm thinking about having some headwork done...Went from 88 to 95 last Winter...I am very familiar wilh Jerry Branch, Headquarters, and a few others...I am only somewhat familiar with Dave Mackie and John Sachs and am looking for comments ONLY on John Sachs and/or Dave Mackie...Has anyone out there had any dealings with them and if so what can you tell me?

    Thanx

    Yeah FL is flush with good quality work and there are several
    not so good guys running around too, best to ask like done here.

    I"ve had the pleasure of working with all three,

    Wes did me up a CV 51 intake for my 124 before they were
    done by woods and others, made it easy to put the cv
    on and get the super g off, made it one off using his 44 intake.

    Johns done work for several friends all satisfied

    Kirby has done work for buddy Doug, and it's the one
    head that has held together on that dang 113...

    myself, redoing bathroom and kitchen backsplash, just redid
    the electric in the kitchen over the weekend.
