IIRC Ellis gets most all of his business through word of mouth. People don't get that kind of reputation doing shotty work.

Ellis did a cam install and tune in my LT-1 car 5 years ago. I have never touched it since still idles perfect, runs great in traffic and runs extremely consist times in the 1/4.
