I use HPE now. I have used Speed Demon in the past. Not bad, but stack for stack HPE is so much better. HPE is awesome with meeting your needs and doing it at a pretty steady pace. My money and my car go to HPE, hands down.

Well, when I actually get some money to put in the 6-oh beast......it will definitely go to the crew at G-Force. They have helped me on a few occasions and are stand up guys.

We try to do all we can our selves (me & my brother) out of our father’s garage. Mail order some.
G-Force tuned my brothers car this week, they all seemed like a good bunch of guys. Definitely gonna go back for help on my little cars "future" plans.

i throw my vote in for MTI ...... Jayson was nice enough to take the time and tune my little old LT1 and as soon as the N20 gets here i will be back getting it done again.

Well, I do almost all of the work here in my garage that I can. For tuning, machine work, or advice I go to MTI & see David in sales or Jayson for my tuning needs, for my exhaust work I use Lone Star Muffler, and my tranny work is done by a guy named Ross out of his little private shop.
Just a little info about my setup. I put down 417RWHP with MTI Stage 2 E heads which are their cheapest heads to my knowlege and their tiny little B1 cam thru an automatic tranny & Jayson's great tuning! They have been working on LS1's since they first came out & have been inovators with the LSX motor platform all along.
I've been to G-force & they seem to take good care of their customers as well. I've talked to Chris at Speed Demon a few times & he's always been helpful & kind. I haven't really had any experiences with the other shops around town since I do most of my own work. To me, turning the wrenches myself is about 80% of the satisfaction of owning a hot rod muscle car. I know not everyone is mechanically inclined but I just find a certain satisfaction in doing it myself. Not to mention the money that would be spend on labor can buy more parts

Speed Demon here, no matter if it's my son's Mustang, husband's Z28 or my Avalanche Chris takes good care of us. Now that I'm thinking about it we should give him the Buick Roadmaster and see what he can do
