When it comes to local professional services, you'd be surprised. I live in a major metropolitan area, the biggest city in the south and I still have to ship almost everything out. This last engine I did was a UPS and freight nightmare. The only local engine shop that could gap the piston rings I had, do a torque plate hone and a 5 angle valve job on the heads was ProLine. I certainly can't afford that. The whole engine got shipped down to Florida. No one locally could do an intake port, that went to Missouri. We really wanted to have a local guy do the tune so that we could have the same guy dial it in on the dyno later. Swing and a miss again. I spent a half a day on the phone, and you would be amazed how few people do OBD1 stuff now. The tune had to be shipped in from Mississippi.
