Default LS1 shops get in here (I need a lot of work done)

Ok I need a good amount of stuff done to my C5 and Im not sure where to take it. I have to get it moved this next week for several reasons.

Things I need done:
1. Tranny wont come out of first gear even though the tranny itself should be perfect. Removal/reinstall of the tranny/rear end to diagnose the problem.
2. Put 4 rotors, stainless steel brake lines, 2 T1 sway bars, 4 bilstein shocks, etc on the car.
3. Install NX Maximizer progressive controller along with FJO wideband setup.
4. Break in the new motor/clutch and speed density tune.

Those are the major things I can think of right now. Fuel system and stuff is already in place I think. The car is located near Dallas, TX and needs to be picked up sometime next week.

I dont really need a quote or anything. I just want the work done efficiently and somewhat quickly. Id rather not be in a line of cars waiting for a lift to become open. Been there, done that.

If anyone could pm me, I would appreciate it.

Kumar

Oh and I might order a set of ET 255s also if I am in a good mood.

Im thinking about it but from what i know LG and LPE dont really like messing with nitrous setups. I have new rails and stuff sitting here. Plus Lou and I arent exactly best friends although we could get over that.

hmm, only other "Vette" shop i can think of is 21st. But I know they dont like to mess w/ N20 as well.


John told me that they dont really push the N20 product, b/c it would defeat the purpose of him trying to sell the turbo kits.

If I cant find anything in the DFW area, I was going to call Gforce and HPE on Monday.

The problem is that I start school on Jan 9th and wont have time to go check up on things or anything like that til spring break. Plus Im looking for a place I can go to for retunes and stuff and driving to Houston each time might suck.
