Does that make his engines better? Maybe. I say look at the track records...how many blown engines have you seen from JDM or JL?
I think the main thing is these tuners don't have the space for the machining equipment and the training on this new equipment. I have a machine shop near my shop. This guy builds and engineers products for nasa and the military. It's basically his house and you would never know from the outside, but when you go in......it's amazing.
We got a set of hooker headers for our mustang. Were supposed to be for a 351 block in a fox body. The headers bolt to a flange that is bolted to the motor. Needless to say is was a poor design at best. This guy made me two new flanges that were port matched from the heads to the headers and fit flawless.

the builder has been discussed here before, his name is Al Pappito.

Depends on how much some one wants to charge you versus how much you tear up if inexperienced. It is no small amount of work the first time or two, but gets quicker and more dreaded with repetition I joke, but this is very close to the truth. If you do it yourself and your experience level is thinner than your wallet, get experienced help.
