Default Question Head and Cam install location in Memphis?

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.

I'll bet if you drove up to Millington and hung around the pits this weekend you could find out where to get your work done. Maybe Memphis Motorsport Park isn't open in late March as the dragstrips are further south.
