Question who do you recommend?

performance shop in the DFW area or maybe even Houston area. i want a shop that is good in what they do, fair and reasonable. i'm trying to gauge how much it would cost to take my car to them and tell them what i'm lookin for in a cam only set up and see what they can do for me. obviously i will be doing the supporting mods of oil pump, push rods etc. who do yall recommend that is a good shop that can do this transformation and tune the car for me. thanks for the tips guys!

For the Ft. Worth area I'd recommend Simple Quick.

Simple Quick hands down, atleast call them and see what they can do for you, before you drive all the way to houston. You can get the same service if not better at SQR.

The reason i put DFW/Houston, because i realize they are really far apart is because i'm originally from Waxahachie but i live in College Station. Over winter break i will be mainly in Waxahachie working in Dallas but if i can find a better deal in Houston I'll just wait til i'm back in the area and drive to houston because it would be closer and i have family there as well.

So SQR in fort worth and LMR in the houston area. Hopefully i can negotiate something good. parts and labor and tune whats a rough estimate do yall think is fair enough to play around with to get these guys to handle my car?

you need to take it to SQR, they are the best hands down. you will not be disapointed with their service, they are very reasonable to deal with.
