Default Looking For A Shop- Got Stiffed
To make a long story short. I met a couple of guys ice racing. I told them I have a SS and they told me they have a friend who lives in my area who knows LS1's. Well, he was supposed to help me install a cam and he stiffed me after I took off all the accessries. I need to find some one or a quality shop to do the install. I can do it but don't have the time. I don't mind leaving my area. Thanks
