I don't have the Z07 but I went with MTI. I found them to be very good and they know their stuff when it comes to these cars. Ask for Dave Coates and he'll take care of you.

HPE is a really great shop and much cheaper than MTI and puts out the same quality work if not better. Josh is an amazing mech. and Chuck is a very very good tuner. between the stinger and z07, i'd go with the stinger because of the extra displacement, 434 vs 427. The customer service is MUCH MUCH better than MTI. An added plus is no matter if you're spending a grand, 9 grand, 20 grand, HPE is going to treat you like a human being with the greatest attention customer satisfaction and equality. MTI reminds me of the current repubs in the white house, it's all about them "Franklins" to them.

well I know of at least 1 democrat on this site now. Just messing!

But I would agree with c5_ls1_6spd I am going to get my motor built by HPE and I have spoken with both shops several times and HPE is definately the better choice and there prices are better. If you want more info on HPE beast96z had his 454 ls2 built there.
