Default Thanks to the spartan

I've got to give some kudos to Damian (Josh) for the great job he did on my wife's cam install on her C5
I simply didn't have the time (or a lift) to tackle the job, but my wife doesn't trust ANYONE working on her Corvette but me. We met up with josh, and his knowledge along with his obvious passion about these cars helped ease her mind. Our trust was well placed, since he took great care of the car, and did great work.
I've only met him a couple of times, but it's clear he has a great knowledge of the LSx engines, will gladly go the extra mile (or several miles in our case ) to get things done right (NO SHORTCUTS!!) and is just plain fair.
I highly recommend him to anyone.

Yea my car is up at Josh's place right now too. I saw your vette, that's a nice car man. You're right though Josh is awesome, he def knows his stuff and comes across more like a guy with a passion for gm cars, than a guy trying to sell you stuff and work on your car.
Other people should chime in with their experience with Josh.

Good dealings with Josh too, he really got my tune in check and installed a new clutch/slave/tick mc and did some odds and ends here and there. I still owe him a beer can chicken.

Nah, I wish bro. I got the 02 z28, doing a small cam and long tubes some other stuff too.

On another note, Josh is really hooking me up with good deals on parts. He went above and beyond what I expected.

Josh spec'd it for me. My car made 409 to the wheels with just the Cam and 10 bolt. He has a ton of experience and does a thorough job everytime.
