Default DFW Shops for cam install
I am looking around for a shop in or near Dallas to do a cam (and maybe full H/C) install in my '01 Z28. Please sound off with any suggestions or warnings. I want to make sure I know my options before opening my wallet. I know there have to be other places to take an LS1 around here besides those I have found so far.

Also, if there is some issue with naming non sponsor shops in the thread, please send me a PM.

Much appreciated.

Since you're in Dallas. RPM or LG. There are probably others. In Ft. W I'd say SQR.

Warnings would be Xtreme HP in NRH. Stay away from there. Unfortunately this is from direct experience.

Thanks, guys. Please keep the suggestions coming. It sounds like SQR is well regarded. Any places a little closer to central Dallas?

Simple Quick Racing(just google them).

HPP does good work as well, but they mainly specialize in mustangs though.
Good friend of mine is a mechanic there and whenever I had a Mustang Bullitt, they installed my gears flawlessly.
