Default Central FL LS Shop?....

Hey guys, I could use some help hunting a good LS shop within a reasonable drive of Ocala. Looking to get a cam swap or maybe heads and cam on an LS3 car. Any advice? Willing to drive further for better (or trailer it) and I don't care if their pricey or a long wait if they do top notch work. Thanks!!

I was born and raised in Ocala and never found a good performance shop locally (other than muscle cars). I use to drive to Winter Garden when Mike Norris was still in the state. I recommend the drive to St. Pete and see Powertech Performance!

Give tom a call first, he built my GTO, and he knows what he is doing. He is not a sponser, so I don't think I can give out his info.

Next Level Performance in Altamonte Springs is doing a twin turbo in one of our club members G8. There have been some GTO guys that have gotten work done there. They do a lot of Corvette stuff there I think.

One of the guys who did work for Next Level (Ty) is working out of Sanford now and Mike Norris still tunes for him when he comes down. Might be too far of a drive for you though.

I'll vouch for Matt at FSP, he did the work on my car when he used to be in Jersey. Good to see him away from the cold!
