Default LS1 Premium Rebuild Shop?

Anyone know of a vette or F-body shop in our area that has a high level of competency, experience, and attention to detail? I am looking to have my 98 LS1 rebuilt to 400-450 rear wheel HP but streetable. Heads ported, lower and upper end top of the line components, etc. Do not want to go with a crate or anything else. I'm and old school guy who like numbers to match and stay stock - what came witht the car. So yest it will still have perimeter bolt heads. They need to be able to take the whole car and do it.

I live in AZ and my first option is to ship to Motorsport Technologies in Houston but it's quite a haul and much higher transport fees then I expected.

Thank you but they operate out of the same facility as Pro Dyno. I had PD do some suspension and exhaust work some time back and it was horrid. Bilstein Corporate told me the car was not safe to drive they way they installed their components.

After my car sat in there for over a month working on exhaust system I just yanked it out of there, especially when they got to the point of wanting to now run the exhuast under the axle for duals. Clearly not what I asked for. I ended up taking them to court and won. My car/business will never go back in that facility! What a pain in the *** that ordeal was, really.

Pretty sure he just said that he wants to use factory #'s matching castings. No Katech for him.
