Anyone? I'd like to know, too...

or, let me guess... the answer's going to be "Don Lee". I just wish there was someone closer, because my time is *very limited* and I don't have time to trek out to Rancho Cucamonga.

Thats because they are worth the drive and I would rather drive a distance once then deal with a crappy local shop over and over again until they get it right.

Sure I wish they were closer but I am just happy there is a shop I trust within a reasonable distance. My car is there as we speak and I live in OC

Keep in mind there is an enterprise rent a car next door to DLA. I have been able to get a car there for a day and it only cost me $35 (used a cupon).. just an option.

And with then money you save by taking it to DLA, it practically pays for the rental. Plus like Steve said, the job gets done right the first time.

Will your 69 be as fast as your newer camaro? I really like the fact that you don't have to worry about smog. I've been thinking about going to a pre-smog year so I can do a turbo 427. How difficult was it to get the ls1 with the computer to go into the 69?
