Anyone recommend a shop NW IL burbs? I have been buying some parts the past few months and I am trying to figure out where to take my car to get the parts installed. I would like to go to a place where they are familiar with this car. I am in the NW burbs of Chicago. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Speed inc. is where I would go, it's in streamwood just off Irving park road. They did my tune. There were several LS cars/ trucks outside. I'm going back there in a couple weeks for some exhaust stuff. 1 (866) 571-7733. I'm not affiliated with them at all. Just passing on a great experience.

Not the first time I have been recommended to them. I have spoke to them a while back about another car. Kind of expensive but I guess you get what you pay for.

what parts do you have to install? Speed INC will definitely do it right and can take care of anything for you but like all specialty speed shops they are pricey.

I just got a quote from Speed Inc for a clutch install and it was on par with what I've paid other shops for the same work. The speed at which they replied to a weekend website info request email is what impressed me the most. Communicating details like that are often the first thing overlooked by a shop that is very busy, in my experience anyway.

I bought a package from creative steel (motor, trans, diff mounts), I think I am going to get the cradle bushings and Gforce axles and need it all installed. My car is stock other than a K&N and the Pilot Super Sports. I would like to build it up a little but at this point in time I need to get rid of the wheel hop and replace the broken motor mounts. Eventually when money permits and I have all the supporting mods to minimize the wheel hop, correct me if I'm wrong but the only thing to modify after this stuff gets installed is the one piece driveshaft. I would like to get it up to LS7 power levels (through the stock exhaust if possible) and I would be happy.
