I have talked to a few shops about my build. PK machine in Fitchburg (pkmachinehp.com), Larrys Power in Groton Ct (larryspower.com) and Eastwoods Auto Machine in Somersville Ct (eastwoodsautomachine.com). They may be a bit more than an hour away though. Paul at PK was very helpful, he spent 45 mins on the phone with me. He is all tooled up for ls stuff. His prices seem to be average. Eastwoods did a 383 trubo motor for a member on here tuned by slowhawk that is running I think low 9's. Their prices are great. I chose Larrys power because they did my friends lightning motor and it came out flawless. They have high prices and long lead times because they are so buisy. They do all makes of engines. Plus the shop is brand new and extremely clean. Hope this helps some!
That's Crazy eastwoods is 6.9 miles from me so I will deffinetly talk to them,just not sure how familiar they are with LS motors,nothing is mention on there website nether the less I will call and talk to them & pk is a hour1/2 but they have LS experience so I will call them anyways thanks for the help ? For slowhawk do you guys tune blow thru setups, I do have a dyno guy close to me but there oldsckool and your reputation seems to be top notch.
Hey man. RAD in ludlow does great work a lot of people swear by him. He also built a friend of mines 383 LS and he's been very happy. But I'm sure Don knows great people to deal with

Yeah I know of him he's done some work for me in the past just wasnt sure how knowledgable he is with the LS WORLD and on another note a really close friend of mine had a 502 done by him and dynoed all is good except they never put the balancer on all the way and don't forget they ran the motor, motor seems to run fine though not to bash the guy but he also gave him a hard time, my opinion he should have went to his house to resolve the problem hell he dropped $6000 there, so I'm a little skeptic so well see thanks.

Verdad Gallardo yes this is true but this is going to be a ride thats not going to be taken out unless the sun is shinning and once its tuned and running good i dont touch it to much if the weather changes it runs what it runs as long as its not falling on its face.
If you do a blow thru I would talk to CSU Carburetor Solutions Unlimited. Their 750 is good for 1100hp. 850 is good for 1685hp and they offer a dominator. You get the point. They really know their stuff give them a call.
