Default Good F-Body Mechanics in/around Orange County/LA or Las Vegas

I need to know of a few good (if any) good FBody mechanics out there in my area. I'm due for a full clutch replacement as well as master/slave and some other stuff like a new water pump and rear diff. seal. My current mechanic isn't very used to LS1 Fbods but he has restored quite a few Corvettes. He quoted me $600 for the labor and asked me to get the parts since he doesn't deal with high performance parts - just regular everyday stuff. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Also open to suggestions for mechanics in Las Vegas since I go there quite often.

I usually use Don Lee since I live in Corona. They are highly recommended. However I have used Superior Automotive down in Anaheim. Ive used them in the past for older F-bodys, and they have expertise with 4th gen. They have been in Hot Rod, and other magazines for LS1 383 packages, and also a 400 rwhp package for LS1. Check them out.

I have a head and cam package from superior also I was very happy with their work however they need a better tuner and better tuning software.
