Sorry to hear about the headache, but looks like you're keeping your head on straight and just figuring out how to move forward, which is great.

I also hear you on the whole "which shop to pick" ordeal. I'm in the same boat on mine where we have great local shops like DB, MAP, and Primo, and I'm sure they are all mature enough to not hold grudges about choosing one or the other for things. I plan on using as much local shop support as possible for my build, and to divy it up across the board as they are all great!! So I wouldn't worry about that at all if I were you. You have to do what works best for you in the end, and both DB and MAP have pretty solid motor builds running around so they are both completely capable beyond a doubt in my eyes.

Good luck, and let me know if you need a hand as I'm more than willing to get greasy just like I did with brownman and Kerry recently!
