Looking to get a set of Patriot's installed along with the voodooo bump stick and I just need a shop that can install them for a reasonable price here in Memphis.
It sucks the shop that is around the corner from my house is a Mustang spcialty shop that doesn't even know how to install a LS1/LS2 cam.

Nope I work grave shift and typically don't go over to AK
Edit...
Check with F.A.S.T. I emailed them this afternoon and they reply'd back stating they can tune my LS2, but I'll need to fill out a form listing add on's (which isn't a problem for me).
Now I still need to find a place to have the damn heads and cam installed.
I called Snell Automotive and they quote a install time of 32 hours and cost of $2200 (maybe I should get back into building motors).
The book listing for replacing the heads were
9 hours for the drivers side
8 hours for the passenger side
14 hours for the cam installation
Man, the book maker must be thinking the mechanic would be a crack smoking retard cause (I could swap a cam with about 4 hours to spare and I don't even have the damn tools).
I still find it funny what DSR's owner told me "We don't know how to swap a cam in a LS1/LS2. I believe you have to have a cam alignment tool".
I can't blame them though, as they specialize in FORD and Toyota tuning.
