Default Heads/Cam install St. Louis

Are there any good shops in the St. Louis area that can install heads and cam on a 01 Trans Am for a reasonable price?

I thought about doing it myself but I have never done It before and don't really have anyone to help if I run into problems so I was curious if anyone has delt with any shops in the area with a good experience.

CBI dude! Currently working on my vette, he has done tons of ls1 stuff, from procharging to custom motors. Very educated dude he knows his stuff! Call him he has decent prices but his work is quick and very legit
