Default Engine work for LS1 near Pittsburgh

Anyone know of any good shops with a dyno around the Pittsburgh or north of Pittsburgh areas? My dad needs someone to put his new headers, heads, cam, and torque converter in maybe an exhaust too and a dyno to have Texas Speed tune it on... any ideas?

Up about 30 miles north of pgh, not really looking to take the car 3+ hours to get the engine done, the car was originally worked on by Stropes (yeah... no) and we really dont have anyone around us

Their shop was neat, clean, and the people were as nice as the machines in their garage.[/QUOTE]

Very expensive work, great work, but very expensive

It doesnt matter he's not a sponsor on here. I also think its unfair that 1st try tries to get business off of a site he doesnt sponsor. Its one thing to send a pm saying that if there are no sponsors on here that can help him then maybe he can turn to him. But putting his name in a thread i believe is a violation of the rules to this site.


Rule number 2. Non-sponsoring vendors and individuals may not use LS1TECH with intent to generate income. If you are trying to sell items or charge for your services, we ask that you become a sponsor on this site. Contact me if you need the rates to advertise here.

That right there is what he is using the site for.
