Take My VX Engine to a Speed Shop?

Hello Everyone:

I'm thinking about getting the engine to my 94 Honda Civic Vx remanufactured, whereas the one option available to me is the local speed shop in the neighborhood, while the second option would be the Engine and Transmission Exchange that caters to the general public.

Of the two, I've been trying to determine which would be the better choice. My ultimate goal is to have the engine completely overhauled back to factory specs, while regaining the ever so coveted 50+mpg that we all come to love. That is priority one!

The question is, whether the local speed shop would be the right choice, given that they're more hot-rod & performance driven, whereas what I'm trying to have built is a pump friendly tea sipper & no performance. Maybe I'm being too bias; but would there be any advantage to going that route?

Thank You
