Default Des Moines speed shops????

Are there any shops near Des Moines that cater to LSX vehicles? I'll be moving there in a few months and I'm in the middle of my build. I'd like to find a reputable shop that does tuning. A good fabricator would be nice to find too. Let me know if you guys have any local shops that have a good setup. Money is not an issue.

Like the other guys mentioned WS6store is the only place around here to take it. Mike (the owner) is a great guy. A lot of guys around here to help with anything you need as well. My buddy built my turbo kit and we are always willing to help out anyone we can. Also, noticed that you were in the Marines. I have a few friends around here in the Guard too. Definitely get a hold of me when you get here. Always good to meet new people.

Curious though, what's bringing you to this great city? Haha.

Thanks guys. Didn't realize the WS6 Store was a storefront/shop. Great to hear. Kelly I will look into that shop also. Appreciate the feedback guys.

Leaving the service and moving near the wife's family in Altoona. Plan to attend one of the fine state universities while I'm there. My wife has some family in the guard up there too.
