I'd call John @ CTM here in San Antonio for the engine work . His # is 210-394-2990 . Tell him Mike gave you his number . Very honest guy , very quick and reliable .

Lethal Performance here in San Antonio is damn good with the LSx stuff as well . Their number is 210-656-5220 .

CTM?

Lethal is also good, but I don't believe either one are sponsors.

I laughed when I saw this. You could put XHP in there too, but low power, oil leaks and rattling valve train doesn't go with the rhyme....

CTM is owned by John Monn who use to work for Kotzur racing engines and is out near Lethal in Bracken . I do not believe the original person asking for shops required the shop to be a sponsor on here . He asked :

"Anybody know of any good reputable shops in Texas that can overhaul an ls1? lmk

Thanks"
