They have done all my mods to date.... very reliable, but EXTREMELY busy.

 

I hear ya about the busy thing - i cant bring the car in for another 3 weeks o well, he quoted me 600-700 for a cam install. better than the 1000+ i was gonna pay for this other guy to do it. Plus i get 2 dyno runs. Cant beat that!

 

Damn, I'll have to keep them in mind come my cam install time. Where abouts in Montclair is it, cause I got to school at Montclair State?

I know, i was totally floored when he gave me that price. Somethin seems fishy tho... but i guess since they have so many customers, they can aforrd givin cheap quality work

I bet they could get a good price goin for those headers you were askin about earlier (i dunno if u got that settled out or not) But like i said, the dude told me it will be at least 2 weeks wait

 

They are reasonable for many resons...but mainly..

Because they specialize in GM performance... at any given point in time, they'll have 10-15 c5's and fbodies to work on.

 

They installed:
light weight k member
light weight a arms
manual steering rack
converted my dry nitrous kit to wet
installed a torque converter
rewired a lot fo things
ported my heads
ported my upper and lower intake
installed my d/s safety loop

Are we seeing a trend here?
I'm really happy with them!!!!
I'm dropping the bird off in about 1.5-2 weeks for a tranny rebuild

Unless you already know, you need to find out exactly what they were quoting. Was it an "estimate" or a firm quote? Does it include parts? The "small stuff" like gaskets and fluids can easily add a couple of hundred dollars to a job like this. It's hard to think an experienced shop in your area would be doing this job for $6-700.

Good luck.

Well he did say "around 600-700" so it wasnt really firm. But i do have like everything necessary (including gaskets) They shouldnt need anything else to install it that i dont have, except cam lube, but they are a shop and should have that anyway.

So yeah, sounds like this place kicks ***. I cant wait!
