new to forum need some advice

Yea im real familiar with hughes we had a bad experience with them when my dad had him build his stroker valve clearance was off and hughes did the right thing and redone it all but still wasn't right and broke valves and scared pistons so he went to muscle motors and they been the best to us. Now im not dogging hughes they do great stuff im sure it was an honest mistake I just tend to shy away. Muscle motors has the 525 $4200 which isn't bad I just want to have a reliable 9 second "street car"
