Default New and need advice...

Ok got an '02 camaro and damn if it wasn't worth 15 months in the sand box to be able to buy it, but now i want more power and so the question is who do I talk to about buying a turn key crate motor, preferably LS2 or 7. I search and see so many damn shops on the internet but honestly dont know who is good and who isn't. if anybody knows of a good engine shop on the west coast or online that I can get a good 500hp small block for a decent price please let me know.

Somebody must know something? Money burning a hole in your pocket, or an unmolested credit card?

i haven't done a whole hell of a lot of research (on crate ls2/7s), but i'd be willing to bet that you could do a pretty nice high cubes buildup for the same/less than a crate ls2/7.

sorry i cant help with locating a shop though. gl with that.
