Haddad and strictly both have been around for a while and have lots of happy customers and both are well versed in the ls1 and building and tuning them.

Wow, you ever wonder why people take the time to **** on people when they could easily just ignore the thread?

I mean seriously, the search function's great and all that, but the reason we're on this board is to talk to like-minded people and get a relatively "live" response. Google will "search" for me, but I'm with the guy who wants up-to-date, as close as internet-forums-can-get feedback.

"Feedback", not "noise" buddy.

(Now, I'm off to search for threads on Strictly & Haddad, thanks to this thread)

to you also.


Plus, you never know if a new shop came out, or maybe they didn't know the names of the other shops, etc...

In the last week there have probably been over 10 threads about what shops to go to in socal. It is pretty retarded that people keep asking the same questions over and over and over again.

We'll go from north to south.

Ventura: A&A Corvette

San Fernando: Strictly Motorsports

Los Angeles: Haddad Motorsports

Lake Elsinore: CMS (don't know if they are open yet)

There are many others, but those are the the ones that have been mentioned at least a dozen times in the last week.

All 4 of these shops do dyno tuning, LS1 building and other typical work, cages, suspension, whatever. I think A&A likes to stick to vettes though.

Are you worried with passing smog? How much power are you looking to make?
