I recently broke a piston so I'm looking at upgrading some internals. Any feedback on a shop that's knowledgeable on the 6.1 would be very helpful. I live in Moab so I would need to trailer my SRT Jeep to the shop. Also the Grand Junction CO. area would be even closer to me but I want to make sure the the work is done right. Thanks for any input, Chad

I know where not to take it! Are you looking for someone just to do the machining, or a turn key job?

Knowing where not to take it is even MORE important! I called a couple shops in CO. but was not impressed so it looks like she needs to come up North. I suppose a turn key would be ideal for my situation, having the engine pulled, machining, installed, tuned etc.
I think what I'm looking for is to take the 6.1 and make it a supercharged block. forged pistons, cam, lower compression. I would like to pick up some more power but mainly make it more reliable. Any thoughts on what the cost would be? I would also like to improve the power more than before but stay within the safety limits of the AWD componenets.

Hey Chad, Sorry to hear about your piston. There are a few great shops here in the valley. If you are looking for internal work to block or heads. Check out Larry and Goldie at Fast Lane Performance in Orem. They did excellent job on my ported heads with upgraded valve seating, springs, etc... www.fastlanemachineinc.com/I also recommend Karl @ Absolute Performance in Sandy. www.absoluteperformance.com/I also recommend Brock @ Premier Performance www.premierperformanceut.com/All 3 above are great reputable shops that have done work for me. Just dont go to Rick Squires for tuning. I am serious! I had a not so good experience there. BTW I Pm'd you my cell phone, since I am never on. Keep me posted & Good Luck
