Since you're in NY, Oddy would make the most sense, although all 3 that have been mentioned are excellent. I've had great luck with JR at RBS, he even built a wooden shipping crate to ship mine back this last time a couple of months ago. Shipping from Nashville to Northern Cal. was a little over $100 each way though. A lot of the guys that run PC-1 and PC-2 with the NPCA seem real happy with Fowler. One thing I really like about RBS, he carries all kinds of periphial pieces that are hard to find anywhere else. BTW what kind of usage, heads-up, fast bracket, fast street? Reason I ask, your rotors really look good to have 10 years on them, if you havn't had a decrease in performance, and need consistency more than total power, believe I would just check the gears for wear or excess backlash, and make sure the teflon hasn't come out anywhere. Fresh stripping is great but it will lose 5-7% in two or 3 passes, but will stay consistent for quite a while after. Not trying to talk you in or out of anything, just trying to weigh out the gains for the expense involved.

The shop that is doing my work is very familiar with blowers,going by my description Gary said I might need some bearings and he will check the gears.He also said if the strips were in good condition,he might not even restrip it.We were on the phone for well over an hour last night.He has been blown for 40 years
