Default Does anyone know a decent tuner/shop

Does anyone know a decent tuner/shop in the southern PA/Northern Maryland area?

I'm considering adding a blower/methanol setup to my 2002 Silverado ext cab 4.8 4x4 auto, or maybe an LS3 crate motor.

The more I look, the better the LS3 looks over the blower/meth setup. I've got ~260K on my motor and, depending on compression, may need replaced anyhow. I'ts not using oil. I want to do this to up my MPG a bit. 16.5MPG isn't great on a 110 mile round trip commute.

I've got lots of time to figure out what I want to do.

PM me.

Great answers! Thanks guys!...except for the clown (I could type his name, but it doesn't matter, I don't believe in feeding them) who just typed "search" and got his post deleted. Gee....I'd have NEVER thought to search 1st! DUH!

When it's time to do the work I'll check some of these guys out.

Thanks again.

+1 for Fran at Race Proven Motorsports. Once you go there everything else just seems ok.
