I am looking for a performance shop in Houston,Texas or the surrounding area to get some info on an engine build, for my 2001 Ws6 Trans Am. If you know of any good places please let me know.

Thanks,

You cant go wrong with any of those, feel lucky you are in a place like houston with such good options.
My vote goes to g-force since they have done all my work, but ive heard nothing but good stuff about the other shops as well.

Are you talking "ENGINE BUILD" ; machine shop; pro-fessional; decked, honed, line honed, bored; engine combo- bore/stroke/ compression; boosted or N/A.

Or are you talking about bolt on mods and tuning. Two different things which could mean two different shops.

My vote for the actual engine build"Griggs Performance Engines". Tim Griggs putting together his own n/a Ls1` with; machining; intake; rotating assembly combo with cam will surprise many on the streets. He is a perfectionist and will do it right. 713-992-1015.
