Any place in DFW that can install a cam?

I live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and looking for someone who is experienced in installing cams in ls1's? I am getting a F13 with spring, harden pushrods, ls2 timing chain, ls6 oil pump and titanium retainers. I think thats all I need? Also, maybe if they can tune the pcm would be great with a dyno tune. My camaro has 100k on the clock, so dont know if there is anything I need to replace while I am in there? Thanks

I know a guy... He doesn't do any tuning though. So you'd be on your own for that.

What does he charge and how long does he take? You can send his info on this thread or send in an email if possible, if the guy doesn't want to be public or anything. Also, is there anything else I need to replace on a 100k car at that time? I drive it maybe 1k a year now so its not a daily driver. Thanks

Wow. I thought there would be a lot of responses on this. Does anyone know someone in the Wichita Falls area that can install a cam? I'm from Wichita Falls but would like to get it done in DFW since its closer. Thanks

I finally got word back from my buddy.. He'll only work on LS1's.

But an opti swap is cake. Just gotta pull off the crank hub and water pump.

He has a 2001, so it should be LS engine. Hopefully, he doesn't have an Opti on it.
