x2...

call RPM or SQR..... both are quality shops who charge pennies more than a private installer. If something goes wrong and a private installer degrees the cam wrong or screws up with fluids and leaks.. do you think they will stand by work for doing it with pennies?

Call RPM or SQR... both have treated me fair and reasonable in price.

Yeah, cause RPM has never installed a cam wrong and ALWAYS stands behind their work.

Dont listen to this douche. He will cheer lead for any shop he thinks is helping him out. His last BEST shop was TRT.

I would tell you to go back to LS2 but since you have been ghosted there its kinda pointless huh?

trt never installed a cam wrong..... and just so you know I lost over 4k with that shop out of my pocket before it closed down due to issues and things. RPM has to fellas that do the work there: Matt G and Manuel. Both are more than qualified to install a cam, just like Daniel and Billy at SQR.

Not cheer leading, everyone has an opinion.
