Rudy Kurtz is semi-retired. If you know him, or know someone who knows him...he might do a buddy deal.
He moved recently to be closer to his daughter I believe...and it only doing a little bit of "buddy" work right now.
I've run against some buddies that have FAST motors, they rip. Both a 4 mil cub and a dune port stock cylinder.
Jeff is a great guy to deal with, very, very fair pricing.
I just had my Herr Jugs ported 10 mil cub out the first time a few weekends ago. With only a few hours of tuning/gearing/air pressure on a complete freshen up and port job, I've gone faster than I've ever gone both ET and MPH.
I have tuning left to do, and I'm very happy so far. I also got a few more tricks up my sleeve to get my ETs down.
I had my motor to him and back in 2 weeks. That's unheard of.
Andy @ M&M seems like a very nice guy, but I don't know his pricing and have never personally seen his stuff run around here in MI.
Same could be said for Brandon @ Wildcard.
Racers are a touchy bunch...you have to be a little careful saying who smoked who.
Getting a motor done by anyone is only PART of the puzzle. Final tune is on the rider.
When I first got my motor back from HJR...it was in need of complete retune on my carbs.
If someone with a strong running stock cylinder would've raced me...they would've beat me.
Does that mean they're faster? No...it just means I needed to tune...which I did.
My first few passes were mid 4 second passes (I was a consistent 4.3 last year, some 4.2s)
Within a few more passes I was going 4.2s and pulled out a 4.17.
Tuning and setup is the biggest thing, followed by rider ability...
