Default Head install in PHX

I am looking to get a set of heads installed in Phoenix, AZ.

For you regional guys, who would you recommend?

If you could recommend a shop that you have had internal work done at I would greatly apreciate it.

Yeah, Chris will get it done for ya, or I suppose you could go to Gearhead Garage or Arizona Power and Sound. All do solid work.

I have a set of TSP sg 2.5 heads awaiting install. I have just been quoted some huge $ so I want to make sure I get the best deal, as well as have someone reliable do the work.

Yeah, if you're looking for a good price and 1 on 1 service, I'd say Talk to Chris to do it.

I sent him a PM.
I have used AZ Power before and I may again. Just looking at my options.

Has anyone used Top Gear Motorsports? I found them on the web and they seem like stand up guys?

I have known Sean (the owner) of Top Gear for about 7 years, VERY nice guy and knows his stuff, he does very good work and clean at that! I would recommend him to anyone I know.

Too bad you sold your tools WsSickLs6, you may have had some business I e-mailed Sean, his photos seem remarkable clean, that's what had me interested.

Does Chris just come to your house or do you take the car to him?

Take it to his house on the west side- there is a garage...Just chill, drink some beer, and watch...You'll know how to do it the next time it comes up

it's pretty easy, just time consuming...

That doesn't sound like such a bad idea. I am more than willing to pay for his service assuming he can do spring swaps as well.

I assume you know him pretty well WsSick?

Hopefully these guys will get back to me soon.

Any other suggestions?

They're probably at school, they go to UTI...

Know them all pretty well, especially on the weekends

I wouldn't think twice about letting them rip into my car...

FYI Sean over at Top gear Motorsports is one of the only people in the world I would trust to touch my tranny. Definately a stand up guy.

Definetly good to konw the work has been satisfactory! Chris has quite a bit under his belt, as do I. We both work out of the same area, more than often on the same cars. I would definetly reccomend his work, I usually work on many of the cars that come through this area and he is all about quality installs.

Greg, when are you planning on the camswap? It's probably not a bad idea to have this fellow stop by while we are working on your car so he can get a better idea of what kind of work we do. PM me bud!
