Angry GMPP dealer differences

Was browsing on the GMPP website and looked at the price of the LS7 block. They asked me to select a dealer and when I chose the closest one to me in Connecticut (Central Chevrolet, West Springfield MA) the dealer price was $9735 - same as MSRP. Just to compare, I went back and selected an Ohio dealer and guess what: $7837.

I think that a LS1Tech name-and-shame list should be compiled for dealers who want to grab every penny from their customers.

SDPC (sponsore here) offers some of the best prices for GM parts including performance parts. They also stock alot of those parts. You may want to give them a call.

Swede at Brown & Brown Chevrolet is usually good on prices they usually hook it up with parts pretty close to wholesale if you say your shopping around for it.
