Default Engine work for LS1 near Pittsburgh

Anyone know of any good shops with a dyno around the Pittsburgh or north of Pittsburgh areas? My dad needs someone to put his new headers, heads, cam, and torque converter in maybe an exhaust too and a dyno to have Texas Speed tune it on... any ideas?

Their shop was neat, clean, and the people were as nice as the machines in their garage.[/QUOTE]

Very expensive work, great work, but very expensive

It doesnt matter he's not a sponsor on here. I also think its unfair that 1st try tries to get business off of a site he doesnt sponsor. Its one thing to send a pm saying that if there are no sponsors on here that can help him then maybe he can turn to him. But putting his name in a thread i believe is a violation of the rules to this site.


Rule number 2. Non-sponsoring vendors and individuals may not use LS1TECH with intent to generate income. If you are trying to sell items or charge for your services, we ask that you become a sponsor on this site. Contact me if you need the rates to advertise here.

That right there is what he is using the site for.
