Reasonable 383 build near Olympia? So I'll be back from my deployment in a few months, and that means I got a lil money to spend on the LS1.
It's over 100k miles, so I'm looking to do something along the lines of a rebuild and I'm thinkin 383. But I don't know of any decent shops around me really or prices for such a venture.
I'm thinking depending on the cost of the 383 build itself, of doing a streetable yet aggressive H&C package as well.
I do want to save some dough for the rearend(still stock 10bolt) so whichever is the best bang for my buck: Full 383 build vs just doing H&C setup with basic 350 rebuild and a tune for either of course. I know, while its apart I might as well do the 383, the issue is the price difference. Can I get a 383 build for a similar price?
About the car: 99 M6, ARH LTs, Bassani X & Duals, catted(for now), Lid.
If anybody has any input/advice or knows of a decent shop around Olympia or McChord area, please let me know.
thanks in advance,
Tom

I would say call Speed Secrets (Ellis Groo) ... I hear good things about these guys but I haven't personally used them yet. Run a search in the NW forum for them and see what people say.. looks like its about 70 miles up the 167 from you

Or go 100 miles south to Wong's Performance Engineering. Tom Wong would be able to help you out giving information for both builds. He has done many LSX builds from twin turbo C6 to 572 carbed swap into a 4x4.
