Default LS1 shop recommendation, NorCal?

I need another LS1 shop recommendation in Nor Cal. Kieth at Force won't return my phone calls. I guess he doesn't want to mess with a conversion/hybrid.

I have heard a few good things about Synergy in Fremont.... I have seen a few posts for other shops on Craigslist once in a while.

What type of services are you looking for ?... Tuning, upgrades or swap assistance. I see a few listing in Yahoo yellow pages for Tuners or dyno shops.. try searching there.. ???
