Default Good shop in NC ??

I have an 01 SS , ive hd my F14 cam , valvetrain upgrades etc. for a couple months,, Ive been working like 70 hours a week and just havent had the time to do the install....What is a good shop in NC that you guys know are good, as far as doing the install for me.......Ive been told not to go through Creech at C.A.M. , and that most of the good guys at RPM in Gardner have left. Who should i go through, is there any more choices?

RPM in Garner is still my first choice. My rides up there now getting a new shortblock installed. You might want to checkout Horsepowerjunkies.com. Its one of the local forums and has several shop sponsers listed in the NC area.

I would have to disagree on that. Not true.

I have never been, but I always thought Creech was the man at C.A.M, what did you hear as a reason to not go there.

the options that everybody else gave you are pretty far away from Jacksonville, i PMed you the name and phone number of someone (a non-sponsor) a heck of a lot closer to where you are.

Again, not a sponsor but Tick installed my Spec clutch as well as my QTP's w/offroad Y and Hooker catback. The workmanship was excellent not to mention the super cheap per hour labor cost.

Also, Williams Performance (Nick) in Mooresville tuned my ride both on and off the chassis dyno and she runs like a top. Bob, the technician, installed ZO6 knock sensors since '98's are so darn sensitive and he had my intake off and back on in 50 minutes! Again, excellent workmanship.

Used to take my car there but they just closed their garage, and they just sell parts now.

Nick Williams does a good job.

IMO fbodymotorsports will be out of business soon, they treat their customers like crap... they keep closing sections of their business, appartently they're not doing something right.

Tick Performance or Williams Performance. Jonathan is a good guy, has a badass Trans Am and does great work, but Nick makes the 90mm Throttle Bodies. Going off the tb's alone, you know he does great work as well.

I have never used Nick Williams to do actual work on my car but just by looking at the throttle body I got from him as well as his reputation I would go to him in a minute if need be.
