^^ he added you before you posted it looks like ryne.
LS1W (shane) is a good guy, ive gotten parts from him, so if you need any parts, or need an organ donor car he is the guy to go to
i dont think SRJMS should be on the list though, because rumor is floating around that he just doesnt ask for food and beer for the help, he takes your soul after the job is done LOL

The places at the top are only place I've physically had work or visited in person. I did not place them on that list because there superior in any way.
The places I listed below that list were places I either have heard of or seen work come out of. If I havent personally had work done but I've seen positive experiences coming out of there, I listed them in the lower column.
The purpose of the two columns were not to seperate good shops from the bad, it was only to seperate my first hand experiences from other solid shops I haven't personally had any work done at.
I haven't had anything negative to say about CMS. The overwhelming majority of people who have had work done with you seem to be 100% happy with the quality of your tunning and work.

Ryne,
Please shoot me a PM if you want to discuss anything anytime... I feel it bad business practice to engage in message board arguments etc. I've never met you, but I do respect the reputation ive heard from a few of our customers that have mentioned regarding your shop. I think the last thing you or I would want would be any animosity between shops or negative comments that would only lead to make us both look bad.
I've been in the LSx business for 10 years now since I performed my first LSx conversion in my C4 corvette a decade ago. I have no interest in any adding anymore to the 100+ phone calls I get a day by adding internet advertising, my local and LSx parts sale business has kept me busier than I can handle for many years now. I have a hard enough time as it is getting out of my office to get any work done with the phone calls, you should surely understand how that goes...
