Default Need some people who can modify an A$ subframe to add an engine plate?? Help w/good fabricators/??

I am going to have to tie front end of engine down, checked car w/the 1552 last nite and noticed the oxy sensor was out, which explained why the boost stopped climbing at 7100 rpm lately and was down abt 40hp. I pulled the sensor and saw it was bent about 20 degrees 1/8" above where the brass meets the nut with a large crimp exactly opposite, bend corresponded with an indentation on the body behind the downpipe. Short of it is that the engine is coming up and back by over 1". This is while running rs2 motor and tranny mounts and the APR snub mount. This also explains why my rod shiifted rs2 tranny is so hard to shift under full power. So anyway, I am not looking for someone to try something out for me , but to finsd a professional who does these types of custom jobs on the east coast or mid atlantic region. I know some merikan iorn drag guys but really want someonew who is used to working with euro type subframes. Someone please help me out, I got a beast that wants to be let out, but I wont let him loose till I can hold it.
Thanks,
Rod

check to see if the snub mount mount on the engine is tight.
