new guy, local shop? Hey guys first timer here. Ive been on the cadillac forums for a while because at the time there wasnt an app for thos and I dont get on the computer much.
So about a year ago I bought a 05 ctsv. Ive already done a few mods (all revshift bushings, aluminum radiator, McLeod twin disk, aluminum flywheel, kooks headders, corsa exhaust and cat delete) and I got my tune from dom acai at maxwell power.
So to my question. Id like to find a good honest shop around here to take my car to. If I have any problems, if I want further mods... somewhere I can take my car drop it off and I know things will be done right. In the near future I am planning an 8.8 swap and maybe in the next year and a half or so a fi ls3 build because 400hp isnt nearly enough for such a heavy car. Anyone know a good ls performance shop?
Thanks, joe

Im in renton. Ive heard of him. Would be nice to find something a little closer. At least for occasional smaller things that pop up. Right now my clutch occasionally grinds on a downshift to 2nd. I think it just needs to be bled but I dont really wanna mess with it myself.
A guy named Ellis (who checks in periodically) has been on this board and seems to do quality work that is in Monroe. I can't remember the name of his shop, but hopefully someone will come along and share. I don't have any personal experience, but have heard good things around here about him.

Tuned motorsports down in salem! I just had my ls1 corvette rebuilt/forged there and James does amazing work. Very reliable, very knowledgeable, and very good! He has also done another guys ss camaro on here, 408 stroker build, pretty bad *** build I might add. He also has a dyno and is pretty darn good at that too. I would definitely check him out if he is close enough. I live in beaverton and had no issue dropping my car with him and feeling like it was safe. His shop is within a locked gated area. Shoot me a pm if you want to know more.
