Default TRAK Cam Install

I am wanting to know who people would recommend down around the North Carolina to South Carolina area to put my Thunder Racing TRAK Cam on my car and also install my new heads that are LS6 stage 2 heads with Comp 921's already installed and Manley Valves, I would also be interested in a shop that can port my LSX 90mm intake at the same time and put the JWIZ timing chain on and oil pump change also, someone who you would highly recommend that you know does excellent jobs on LS cars on the East Coast down south, thanks for your input.

Just make sure whoever does it checks each spring height with a spring micrometer. The proper install height is critical when running LSK lobes. You'll want close to shim the springs to within .050" of coil bind on the intakes and within .050-.090" of coil bind on the exhaust. This will help eliminate spring surge and will help them last longer and rpm better.

Thanks for the info Patrick, I am having Bully Performance out of Michigan already install the Comp 921's because they are stage 2-ing the brand new set of 243 bare heads and I sent them my cam card and they saiid they would measure and set the springs up to the proper height according to the cam card and go ahead and install my valves also so the heads will already be done except for new bolts and head gasket for the new heads to be installed and I am just going to sell the LS6 heads and cam that is on the car right now as a package and the manley valves are supposed to actually be better in my setup then the sodium valves since I am running Nitrous also, but I think the big part to me is making sure whoever does it knows how to measure and make sure P to V clearance is fine and that they have equipment to Dyno and redo my computer to the proper tune.
