Headed to BNCOC on the 22nd...I am here till 2009...when I reenlist to go somewhere new....
The blue GTO was me...I was teaching over at the Guard FIST...trying to enjoy the GOAT till I am sent to rental car hell. I wanted to drive down sooooooo bad...but I do not want to cross the mountains with my current tires (next years draggies) or buy new ones....and this way I can save the money I normaly spend for G\gas for a cam...heads are a given with tax money.

I am going to go to Speed Secrets and Mr. Groo. Just read the sigs of all the fast cars in the NW...most have somthing done by S.S. If they (S.S.) are swamped I have heard that Blood Ent. is another good place.
Look on E-bay and the used section here in LS1tech for some killer deals on heads and cams...got some nitrous here too...not so much on E-bay.

Ellis does great work, he really knows his stuff when it comes to tuning, Blood Ent. does good work too, but they are pretty expensive-they did my clutch an drill mod cost me quite abit in labor but did a great job

BE has a problem with main bearings spining on engines.
I know of about 5 cars that were on their dyno & all 5 of them spun main bearings including mine.
of course then they were going to charge me 500 to rip it aprt to find out for sure if it was the bearings that spun.
But if you have a 3rd gen or something that only has OBDI & wanta chip burnt to your specs they are the only place in the state that i know of that can do it & dyno your car at the same time.
