I know of the 2 shops here in killeen trying to steal your money the prices the ask for are insane for a heads and cam swap 1100 even if you had your own parts, I went back home and got it all done for 500, so be careful around here also in the ATX area too

I know a good dependable shop over in Little River/Academy. He does not have a dyno but he is very honest and knows his shiznit. My family has been using him for years.

I had a bad experience with a tranny builder in Houston and was almost to the point of giving up. He put me a performance 4L65E in my truck at a very reasonable price and i have been hammering on it for 4-5 months now, no issues.

PM me for info.

Reckart Performance Tuning in Cedar Park. It's a little drive from Killeen but plenty of people do it... because it's worth it.
