I can relate
Man,I guess I have been really lucky as far as this part of the automotive thinking.
One area I always say to watch is the "Bigger is Better" theme,that always get's people in trouble,when their car is a slug at a certain rpm and then it takes off at another rpm,that should tell them they just switched from a torque monster to a high rpm screamer,either that or their tune is out of whack.
I like the Factory Stock cars of the NMRA here you have a car with a stock dimensional shortblock,stock cam,unported GT40,GT40P heads,unported Cobra/GT40 intake,and personal preference on the throttle body,but no bigger than a 75mm,and they are running low 12's high 11's at 111-114mph,to me that is incredible,on Drag Radials none the less,with a weight between 3200-3400.
Do your homework,study your combo,tune it,take it to the track and thrash it within an inch of it's life,trap speed tells me everything I need to know,just me (LOL) can't speak for everyone else just me.
Last but not least,if you deal with any of them you take a chance,they might have the best rep,they might have the worse,it is always someone that has had a bad run-in with someone else.
Take your time and like Old Guy said researchx3
