Default Speed Shops near SW. VA.

I am planning on doing a h/c swap next spring, and was wondering if someone could tell me a good speed shop to do the install and tune for me? I have heard of Carolina Auto Masters and Vengeance Racing!!! I just want to know opinions on who is the BEST? Thanks in advance!!!

Where in SWVA? I know there's a guy that posts on corvetteforum who has a shop in knoxville. I've had him give me a few quotes and his prices seem pretty good.

(I know my sig says SA, but I'm just working here.)

That's cool. I'm from Jonesville.

I'll see if I can find him on CF. I'm not sure if he does strictly Vettes, though.

Found him. His name is BLOWNZ06 on CF. Here's the shop's website. http://www.highpressuremotorsports.com/

There's a pic of a T/A on there, so I'd say he does F-Bodies too.

Had Jeff at Carolina Automasters tune my ride after I installed the Procharger and I have no complaints.
