Default Looking for a good LS1 shop in Tampa Bay Area

Hey all,
I'm looking for a really good shop that is familiar with our LS1 powered cars, in the Tampa Bay area. One that can do repairs as well as modifications / rebuilds. Any info would be great!

We are in Bradenton, 45 min S of Tampa now, but do it all in house. No need to go one place for an engine, another for a tranny, and yet another for a dyno. We do everything from factory correct restorations to 1,000 plus HP builds and custom paint if needed. Give us a call to discuss your needs: 941-753-5255

Transmission Physician's in Tampa would be great! They have a excellent tech named Kyle that knows our motors inside and out. He's the ONLY one I trust with my car and Transmission Physicians has an outstanding reputation in the community.....unlike others

*****EDITED FOR NON SPONSOR CONTACT INFO****** if you want to contact a non sponsor, you will need to look them up on the yellow pages or google them.

or......

Contact Jeremy Formato on here. He's doing a lot of work on our motors now and is also extremely reputatble in this community.

Both these guys stand behind their work and go out of their way to make the customer satified.....unlike others


Precision Motorsports rawks the LS combos the same as the two I listed above.

Since you're in the area, those shops are in your backyard.

Good luck and if you're around the TB Area, look us up.

Big fan of Precision Motorsports myself. They taught me how to use HPt, and did some trick engine stuff on my stroker build and suspension work for the corners. My GTO is Gods own badazz sleeper if I spray it, and just fantastic daily driver with power to handle just about anything without touching the goofy juice.

Can't go wrong with TP either. Another top notch outfit and second of the 2 local shops I would let touch my car if not doing it myself.

Honestly, my bad bro. Wasn't thinking.
Kyle and TP are doing the RE-build on my motor now. Like I said, wouldn't let anyone but them touch that car.

Yea, but you're cool... so I'm sure you were just touching it to get a spec of dust off of it for me.

If you want a good example of Kyle's work, pretty much look at my whole car.

I remember that car. Kyle did great work on that monster in the real RevX days.
