Check out Rapid Motorsports. Mikey did my cam install and I couldn't be happier with his work. Sorry, but I can't remember the cost break down for the work I had done. Just give him a call and he can give you all the information you need.

They should have a Rapid owners meeting. That would be cool.

You guys are wimps! Why do you think God made driveways and LS1s? Because they are made for each other. Try to change the cam in any other motor without have to remove the intake or heads. It ain't happening. The LS1 is a shadetree mechanics dream come true, notwithstanding the #8 sparkplug.

I'll throw my vote in for Mikey as well. He's a great guy to work with. I've never had him do any internal engine work but he's tuned 3 different setups on my car and i've seen him in action working on other cars. Quality work for sure.
