Sometimes a bit of a drive is worth it. G Force and Icon Autosports are also great shops. I have been to both and have had close friends with their Sevan Series T/A, Firehawk T/A and Silverado go to these places also.

Also, keep in mind that cheaper isn't always better. Sometimes you really do get what you pay for. The cost of being cheap in the world of hotrodding usually means having to end up paying double to repair/replace the cheap stuff later on.

Maybe this will help. I have had an 03 Cobra and a 89 Fox Body coupe Drag Radial Car with a hair dryer. My son has a 88gt with a hair dryer and a 2002 Formula. All tuned at Conley's Performance PlUS. If it is a GM they have the ability to tune with HP Tuners all Gen III and Gen IV vehicles and also 1, 2, and 3 Bar Map for boosted applications. Lawrence Conley also is an experienced tuner on a vaiety of "Stand Alones" Gen 7, FAST, BIG STUFF 3, ANDERSON PMS. Full service shop. Located 4 .5 miles east of !-45 on FM 1960. Only 4-5 miles from Humble. Hope you find what you are looking for LOL.

Take a road trip to Wiley and go visit LG Motorsports. Talk to Bobby and tell him I sent you. I guarantee he won't rape you, unless that's your thing. J/K
In all seriousness, he will help you out with whatever you are trying to do.
They are all good guys at LG. I wouldn't have drove from Michigan to Texas if I wasn't getting a better deal then what I could do in my home state. 1-972-429-1963
and ask for Bobby. Good luck.

MTI gets my vote, I would never go anywhere else. I've been going there about 6 or so years now, they rock!


Peace,
Craig.

i've dealt with LG Motorsports, MTI, HPE, and Conley's in regards to installs. always had great luck and satisfaction with the first three, not so great luck with the last. just my experiences, though. ESR, PM sent.

You can not go wrong with any shop listed in this thread.

They are all sponsors so you can find their website on the right ---->
