Good luck looking. I couldn't find any that I could trust, so I end up doing all my work myself. I do know one place that one of my buddies works at in Coral Springs. PM me if you want the info.

By the way, what kind of work are you looking at getting done?

Horsepower has a couple of locations, but the ones that I know only sell parts. Although, their is a new one on Lantana Rd, just west of Jog Rd. and it looks like they may have a shop attached to it. Can't hurt to try there.

Check with Racer88. I believe her boyfriend Dave and a buddy of his do some killer work on a lot of F bodies. They are fast well priced and can do the work in their sleep. I will be looking to have some things done in the near future.

Hey Claire,

Yeah I will. My brothers incessant babbling about his new Z06 is giving me the mod bug. I think it is about time to do something to the silver beast. I already bought some Sportlines and some shocks as a first step (purely cosmetic) but it is something. I am looking into the GMMG exhaust next. I love the sound. After that probably headers Y pipe and high flow cats.

You've been running around too long to NOT have some performance things done. I know I am simply amazed that your stock clutch has the miles on it that it does....... I am about 20K miles behind you but I am on my 3rd Z06 clutch.

When you are ready, they are the best local hands in the business. I can't wait til we pull my motor and it's rebuilt and balanced!!

Horsepower Sales in Pompano
(954)984-8040
Jeremy, Roger, or Tim

They do a ton of LSX work and installs including Magnacharged C5's, head/cam packages, rearend work etc....

Mike Norris is partners with them and does tuning every couple of weeks at Champion Motorsports(actually hung with him tonight!)....

So they can mod the car and have it tuned!

They did my G5X3 cam only Z06....437whp/396wtq!

My car is pewter. I've only been to the track a couple of times, so it was probably someone else. Have you guys done any big boost STS installs?

Stay away from Horsepower Sales unless you're ready to get A$$-RAPED on price . . . I won't even post what happened to me there . . . Devon knows what Jail-raping I received . . . NOT TO MENTION THE HORRIBLE INSTALLATION work they did! I had to go back to the shop TWICE.

I should have waited until Dave and Brian had time I am NEVER AGAIN gonna let my impatience cloud my judgement when it comes to modifying my car.
