Default NEED shop in the Carolinas
I'm looking for a very reputable shop for my baby.. 1998 Formula. 391 LS2 w/ T88 Turbo. Fully built everything. Right now I'm redoing the fuel system. I need a shop that can fo EVERYTHING.. Any performance mods.. I plan on Big Stuff 3 etc etc in the future. Dyno, tuning, Anything. I live in Lexington, SC, and looking for something relatively close. Anything in Charleston? Charlotte? I need a shop to kind of me my car's caretaker. If interested we can possibly work some deals out w/ sponsorships or something of that sort. Any shops can PM me or email me at kickback2back@msn.com. What are some good shops guys?

I've heard some crummy things about CAM. I personally wouldn't let them change my spark plugs.

Make sure you check out TickPerformance.com as well - they're the guys who did my car and the work was superb, to say the least. They're ~1.5hrs from Charlotte.

Hawks 3rd Gen Performance in Easley,SC is very good IMO. Dont be fooled by the name they have some very nice 4th gen cars as well.

I use Wiggins Racing and Performance for parts/mods and will probably go with RPM if I need any tuning done.
