Default Help picking a shop in central Florida

Hey guys, I need some help.

I have a 408ls rear mount turbo setup in need of some work. I posted earlier but the fabrication is only a minor part.

Where can I take my car to in the central Florida are to get some minor fab work done and a spot on speed density tune?

The places I'm considering areRedline:
Motorsports but I recently read a review that scares me a bit.
CFTShop is also a possibility and they are appealing because they are only 15 mins from my house.
Lashway is an option too.
I was recommended a place called Big Daddy's by a friend but it looks like they do almost all import stuff like CFT.
I am open to other suggestions. Or critiques.
I don't like that Redline, big daddy's and lashway are so far away (200+ mile tow) which means I can't just pop over if I discover a problem.

Car has 83lb injectors and supporting fuel system with return and afpr, alky control meth injection, will run on 93, 6 speed, stock computer, forged 408 with diamond pistons, dragonslayer crank, billet Oliver rods, Afr 230 heads with upgraded springs and inconel exhaust valves, ls6 intake, rear mounted 88/94mm ct5 comp turbo...


Thanks in advance, I need to make a decision by Thursday night.

Is your car orange? Sounds like a car I've seen on the lift at a shop I've been to a few times.

Stay away from lashaway multiple people have had issues with those guys doing really shady stuff. If you are looking for fab work and tunning realstreet would be my only suggestion. Redline is good but like you said a little ways away from you.

what do you consider central FL? cause Lashway is not.

in central FL there is PowerTech Performance in St. Pete, CHenry Motorsports in Land-o-Lakes and FSP in Brandenton.
