Thats just funny right there.


Hey JRP how did things go?
Did you get everything installed yet?
I hope I was of some help on the phone a few weeks ago.
Its nice being a small guy who has some knowledge and the time to explain and help others out.
Feel free to call me if any questions come up and I will do my best to share a valued oponion on the matter.
Dont think I dont want to talk to you because your having your car worked on elsewhere, or something like that.
I am more then willing to help other out even if there is 0 profit being made.
Take care and give me a update on how things are going.
And if you haven't started yet then please make sure you have someone with good LS1 knowledge and experience working with you. These cars are a bit different then others.

still tracking down the parts...(99% sure found some good heads) due to money concerns i wont be done rounding up parts until earily febuary.. but i did appriciate your call it does say alot when someone can call someone for the sole purpose of giving them good advice... also it looks like i found a member thats semi local that wants to do the swap @ my house for $500 so im real happy about that.. he seems to really know his **** and be a cool person so.... so far all this looks like its gonna go really well ... ill keep you posted on the progress and if your ever in daytona, give me call 386-299-2731 ill grab ya a few rounds at hooters and you can check out the end result

BTW ill still might be giving rev-ex a calll for the tune, but as of now im concerned with getting it all installed

thanks!

see Mike Shlack he works at the repair one on dunlawton. He does ls1 and lt1 work at his house on the side. He built the bottom end of my current motor and has swapped cams and heads for a couple of my friends. I also have hp tuners for the 02 f-body.

If you're talking the speed shop at Palm Bay Chevy, that's
where I used to get my work done but they closed that
stuff down and my boy is now "independent". Don't be
bothering him until he gets done with my Caprice, though,
damn it.

Is there another performance-trade-oriented Chebby
dealership in Brevard that I don't know about?

Good choice. I want some of those heads, but I need to make up my mind on what I am going to do. Then I need to have the money.
