Look for a guy in your area named Joe. He goes by SmokeTA on the board. He did mine at a really great price and is fairly local (I think) to you. He is knowledgeable, does good work, and is willing to work with you.

I did a search and there isn't a SmokeTA on this board. Do you have any other information on him by chance?

Thanks

Try "Smoke T/A" instead.

AHART seems to be asble to do this stuff as well.

I have heard nothing but good things about both of these people.

Ryan, above, was another option. I have not had any work personally done by him but did talk to him about doing my work. Very prompt and honest with all of responses. The only reason I didn't have him do it was Joe gave too good of a deal. Let's just total labor for cam install and head porting was less than the cam kit. Joe honored the price he quoted even though part prices had gone up. I honostly don't think you could go wrong with either guy.

I am going to also back up Joe here. he did the heads/cam on my little brother's 96 Z28. He did a great job and a VERY reasonable price. He knows his stuff also.

Well I'm getting the cam in a few days and I'll have heads soon. I'd want everything done. How much does he typically charge for the heads/cam and how much for just the cam?

Thanks!

Joe and Ryan both know a lot about these cars. You won't go wrong with either one. Either way, when you get your car back it won't be the same old Z28.

Smoke T/A...aka Joe...decided to be a jackass on a response to one of my e-mails, so I've decided to go with a guy in Houston who does it for $150 less anyways.....

Thanks guys for all your help!

btw...if you don't respond to EVERY e-mail that Joe sends, he'll get pissed and tell you that "you don't have the ***** to respond"

kinda funny if you ask me...now he's out $650...smart business move? I think not...

Answer his e-mails then dumb ***!! He is a good guy and does great work. I would apologize to Joe and see if he will still work on your car for ya. Or save 150.00 bucks and get what ya pay for!! Joe worked on my car before and will always get my repeat buisness!!
