Default Ca Bay Area Tech Recomendations

Hey Everyone, I have been lurking over the forums for the last few months to try and help my dad with his LS swap into a 58 chevy stepside. We initially started out doing all the heavy lifting in the home garage and then took it to a local shop for wiring and programing. Needless to say, after 6 months and not much progress, we just picked it up. The truck runs fine but will not shift out of first. It has an MSD tranny controller on it but this area is both new to me and my pops so we are looking to possibly bring it somewhere to get sorted out and tuned. Does anyone have any recommendations for a shop in the bay area of Cali?

Thanks for the help

PPG_Performance on IG, great tech but is a smaller shop. He’s usually booked up for a while but worth it.
He also has a tuner that he works with directly to help sort that out too.


You can email him @ jpark1436@gmail.com
