I know this post is really OLD and LMR and G-force seem like they're the best two choices if i had an LS car. Who installs parts and tunes LT1s these days? Anywhere? beaumont, houston, louisiana? I need a LT1 shop.
Called G-force and they said they don't.
Awaiting a email reply from LMR.

Thanks guys for the help. It looks like thunder racing in baton rouge is gonna be my place. It's 3 hrs away, they definately work on LT1s, they've been in bussiness for 16 yrs or so, and the gentleman i spoke with on the phone was awesome. Answered all my questions and offered saturday drop off or pick up.
If i would have looked for tuners and installers for LT guys sooner i definately would have swapped to the LS but i got all my parts now so next time i'm ready for so major work it'll be a swap with an STS rear mount.

I could but i don't have the time to do the work myself right now so i'm spending the money (whole top end). I figure i could do it myself but i'd take 2-3weeks with my work schedule to get it done or i could spend the money and have it done in 2 days.

HPE has been a mess pretty much since Chuck opened those doors years ago.
I'd like to take this opportunity to tell a funny story about Owen at ARD. He called us up once week and wanted to get on our dyno on a Saturday to do some tuning on that purple piece of **** he's had for years and years.
Saturday shows up and he unloads that turd wagon. As somebody is strapping it on the dyno he tells me the engine in that car is the best one he's ever built, and the heads are the best pair he has ever done. So I ask him what makes it so special and he says, 'I coated everything in Polydyne. Crank, rods, bearings, pistons, valves, valve springs, combustion chambers, everything.' What a retard.
So he pops the hood on that bitch and holy ****. He had plumbed a direct port onto that baby and it looked like one of those little kids toys where the kids push the little pieces over the loops and turns and they end up on the other side. It was seriously looking more like a roller-coaster than a direct port.
First pull was N/A and that turd made like 430 RWHP. It was so sad. So sad I said **** it I don't even care what this **** wagon makes on nitrous, so I went back into the office to surf the net. About 3 minutes later they are making the nitrous pull and I'll **** you not the backfire from that nitrous system was so ******' loud the guy I was talking to on the phone asked if that was a gunshot he heard.
I go into the back and this jackwagons airfilter is laying on the shop floor, on fire, and Mike is in the drivers seat of that purple pile of **** trying not to laugh his *** off. I could barely keep a straight face in front of Owen and I had to go back inside the office to text people like Powell about what had just happened.
Take your nitrous **** to a professional, not ARD.

I'm sure there's more, Dave. If anybody knows of any threads I may have missed, which I'm sure I did, send it my way so I can add the link. The thread is a sticky BTW
