Default Heads/Cam install and tune

Well I was looking to get everything the title says. I live in Dover, DE and I was wondering what places everyone would recommend. I dont mind traveling up to 75/80 miles to get this done, I just want the type of quality i'm looking for. Any suggestions?

RPM is a sponsor and is very close to you as well as doing great work and tuning. If we had a ^*&#ing alphabetical sponsor listing I would have linked their site. Search for screen name Frans96SS. Good luck,

Larry

Screw it, I did the search myself.

Luckily it's only about 50 miles away, still located in DE so you're tax-free, and well... they're a couple of good guys up there.

Only shop my car has ever been left at. RPM.

RPM is obviously the closest to you.
There is Cartek Racing, also a long time/dedicated board sponsor, within 100 miles north of you as well. They have built/tuned many of the quickest/fastest heads and cam LSx cars out there.
