only bthing i know is Compuflow wont ship a motor.
i had to wait 7 months till he delivered it to Carlisle for me. He did a very nice job on my shortblock.His head work is better than Porters too.
I wouldn't hesitate to get a motor from Muscle Motors. it looks like he knows how to make some power.

I believe Nick does his own porting. Compuflo is a good place to get your power from. Yery knowledgeable and won't oversell you on anything you don't need.

Not from my experience. Nick's a good guy, but I'll continue to give my $$$ to Dwayne.

I would recommend dealing with a shop that is local to you...
Other than that, all shops can do good work, the question is how much attention do they pay your motor if they don't know you and you aren't around to follow the build?
My two cents.

Nick does do his own porting, he did my 440-1's. He will make recommendations about your combo, but does not try to push you on that product. The engine I just did for my Plymouth has been my first dealings with him and I will continue to use him from here out.

We build our own, I was just curious because I had never heard of compu-flow and thought maybe they sold parts.

Supercomp let me get this right u never heard of Compuflow, and then u say they probably don't do the porting themselves, and u have been a member since 2004? I don't get that?
Nick does everything but cranks. And he's out there racing proving and improving his products.
He walks the walk.... Not taking anything from MM just that Nick is the real deal my 2cents
You notice I said probably. A large amount of builders do. That's all I was implying.

Nick is a honest guy and a straight shooter - one phone call is all it takes to find out if he is the right guy for you. I used to help out there and he spends alot of time on the phone helping with a customers ENTIRE combination.. engine, chassis, etc. He is also a WD for alot of other companies so he is more than just a machine shop/engine builder. I can GUARANTEE the porting is done in house. Crank work and balancing were the only things sent out. I ordered some Ferrea hemi valves from MM one time and when I got them they substituted REV valves in the order. I wasn't to happy as I specifically asked them to verify the Ferrea valves were in stock - when I tried to return them I was told REV is the same thing (maybe they are, maybe not) BUT they did allow me to return them.

I have known Nick for over 20 years and IMO you won't find a better guy to do your heads and set you up with a solid engine. He also will work within your budget and as stated he won't sell you something that doesn't make power Gus

You won't go wrong with Nick, he not only take's care of his customer's but he also join's us out on the track with his impressive car.

I think Nick has my old 64' post car... 
I have Nick's old '68 Fastback car 
Have dealt with both on a professional level for years without issue.
Seing as Nick is a close friend and local to me I wil refrain from recommending one over the other. Both are capable shops.

To compare flowbench numbers, you have to know what the vacuum reading the flow bench is calibrated to. Big difference in the number for a bench calibrated at 28" vacuum and one calibrated at 10" vacuum.
