Reputable engine builders in SoCal?

Hey guys, I wanted to get some info from the forums. Long story short my current built motor is blown and I'm looking at what other shops can build another me another one and stand by there work. So far Nightmotorsport is very enticing with their built motor packages and after talking to one of the reps on the phone they seem to honor there work with an industry leading warranty.

I have also heard of mixed reviews from Outfront which is kinda steering me away from going with them. I cannot confirm nor deny what people have claimed about them but i still would rather not chance it. I just want a competent engine builder that can put a motor together without it blowing after 20k miles like my current motor...

Thanks!

HG Performance in San Marcos. Hands down the best. They have a tech that is the guru of the FA20. They did mine and used an IAG shortblock. Amazing work. Not cheap however total piece of mind.
