Default Head and Cam Packages in NNJ

Who do you guys recommend in North Jersey to work on Ls1's. I'm looking for a good place to get a head and cam package and to have them install it. I see CArtek has some good looking packages, anyone get them and how do you like it?

Thanks, Sam

Give Dave a call at the shop 908-317-4496. The cars that we put together speak for themselfs. Not only do they run the number but they hold up. My Formula was my daily driver right up until I sold it and is now the daily driver of the guy I sold it do

You've seen correctly.
I have quite a few friends/acqaintences with Cartek heads and cam (among other) packages on their cars, they're all fast (with proven track times) and they're all quite reliable for the power levels they are making.
They've done most of the work on my car and their level of expertise is very high.
Good luck in whatever you choose.

My vote is for Cartek.
They have everything right there on the premises.
Chassi Dyno, Head Porting, Flow Bench, Injector Balancing, Cam Doctor type analysis equipment, Welding and Fabricating, State of the art CNC operated machines, Pipe Bending, Engine Assembly, tons of (positive) experience and one of the (if not the) best tuners in the country.

Do I even need to mention all of their current records and "Firsts" throughout the years?

They stand behind their work and they have been around for a long time.
( The test of Time and Quality )

If they were not the Best, I simply would not be going there!

CARTEK 4 LIFE!

No one else has, is or ever will touch my car. I ran an old CARTEK H/C set up. Tey were 98 heads and a tiny tiny cam. Ran 11.3 @ 122 with it almost 3 years ago. NOw I have a newer set up and LOVE IT!

Call Dave and you will not regret it.

P.S. If you want to same some cash. I have something

Cartek does consistantly deliver a quick ET but its a few extra bucks.... worth it to most. I'd say products are top notch with typical NNJ friendliness.

Give Dave at Cartek a call. Remember, price isnt everything, and you don't want to skimp when it comes to this stuff. I have learned that lesson already....
