Default engine swap/rebuild/turbo/tune shop recommendation

Looking to do the above to a project car I just picked up - some "domestic rice" - I lack both the skills and the time to do it myself. Any recommendations?

Campbell Automotive in Edmonton, Nolan Nykyforuk is the man to talk to there. He's into Syclones and Typhoons, those turbo GM trucks. His own ride is a 10 second vehicle. Helped me tune my turbo Saab.

The do engine work too, but I have another guy in Edmonton who does that for me, I just had Nolan do the tuning.

Or is Edmonton too far away for you?

I'm guessing you're asking ws2000, but I can't resist, here's my modified car, not the most common thing:

Yeah, southern AB would be better - Calgary or Leth or the hat...

It's a 95 Neon DOHC coupe - meh, I know, but the colour was right... More of an audio project than anything, but might as well have the go-fast stuff too.

I'll check out those links.
