I'm in Springfield and know a few people from one of the local boards. What city are you in and I'll see if I can hook you up.

Theres a good shop in MO, about 30 minutes into it. Called Redline...Basically all they do is Fbodies/ls1 stuff. They have an inhouse tuner, and dyno. Good people, and they really really stand behind their work.

Their website is http://www.redline-fbody.com/

Contact info, etc is on there.
