Default performance shop around camp pendleton/oceanside

Any good LT1 performance shops in the area?

I need some things done before next week and don't have any time to do it because I am getting ready to move to Japan. I put a new motor in and it has a minor oil leak from the timing cover, it's misfiring, needs exhaust, and a tune. Thanks.

REDHOtTransAM,

I haven't used them yet however, CMS has a really good reputation on this forum. They are located up the I-15 in Lake Elsinore. I am looking to have my 05 CTS-V and my 00 Camaro SS tuned by them when I get back from Iraq. They specialize in 97+ LS1s. They may be able to help you out with your LT1? Just one avenue for you. Good luck.
