Default Shop to Install Headers

I need a shop that will install headers for a 98 camaro. I live in Boynton Beach Fl so it need to be close to home. My auto shop teacher wont do it because he bitches and moans how hard they are on these cars.

Thanks
-Chris

I know Masport Speed shop in boca does just about everything. They installed a vortech supercharger kit with fuel upgrades and some other things for me. I would highly recommend them to anybody that needs F-body work done in the palm beach county area. They are an outstanding shop in my opinion. They do everything to make sure their customers are completely satisfied. They are a sponsor on here to the right in the sponsor list. Hope this helps. Chris

Yep they are pretty easy if you take away all the arm scratches, cursing, headaches, and uncomfortable positions that you have to go through. No seriously if I were you I would do it myself with the help of a friend. My motto is "don't pay someone to do something that you could do yourself". Besides you could use the extra money for the exhaust.

Are you going to want tuning as well?
What plugs are you running if you don't mind me asking...
Good plugs aren't that much and are a breeze to swap when headers are going in...

Let us know, I can talk to Dan the Man (boss, lol)

Thanks Bro!

most likely ill need a tune because the car has 175xxx miles on her and i know its never been done. We put in ACDelco Iridium plugs about 2 months ago. Guess what when i pulled the old ones out they were still ORIGINAL from 1998 and instead of being gapped at 40 thousanths like they should they were at 80. I think im going to stop by MASPORT this saturday just to check it out.
