You drove right by the best shop in texas.You could have stopped at ADM and talked to andy about your car. I believe you would have gotten a plane ticket and left your car there. One more thing,it would not cost you 25k either!

This is the problem. There are so many choices and even more opinions. I do like the warranty offered by Hennessy, however the cost and distance from where I live is very hard to swallow. If something goes wrong I'm not sure I want to pay $1k to ship my car to TX.

I will look into RPM in Garner NC, It is only 20 miles from me. I will also look into ADM in TX. Any other recommendations would be great.

I have owned a Hennessey Camaro and now own a independent built ZL1. Quality is quality, if its right and backed by the shop, one is not better than the other. I have nothing but great things to say about Baily's Hyperformance in Saginaw, TX. It was a one week turnaround and not 25K. Driveability is perfect. And power to spare, if there is such a thing. For the most part shops are putting on purchased parts. Not creating parts and putting on. Talk to your builder make a list of what is to be done, and fill in the part manufacturer next to it. Research make sure its a proven combination. Build it and drive the he!! out of it.

A list of mods in my sig. And it is a rocket.

I live in Vermont so anywhere is going to be a haul for me up here! Lol Right now I am leaning to the guys at Late Model Racecraft (LMR) I can do there Reaper Package plus Nitrous, pickup, and delivery for $22,700! I am getting the itch though as I have not even taken my car out yet this year as I am waiting on my D2 Forged wheels to arrive! I think I might do a CAI, Headers, and Exhaust! Drive it until the fall then ship it out!

Like Schuss said, you get what you pay for. I got a discount as a DAV..... free shipping to and from Sealy Tx. to Newbury Ma. in a 2 car trailer. I got the 750 hp build and got 720 rwhp and 625 rwtq. Have had muscle cars, way too many to mention since 1970, and this one is head and shoulders above the rest. I got a 3 yr 36,000 mi warranty. Can't go to the store without drawing a crowd with cameras...a good and bad thing!! Did all my research first and decided to go with Hennessey. I'm very satisfied with my choice. PM me if you want with questions.

Google Hennessey, Terrible name on the Corvette forums and the Viper forums, Just do your research, Redline Motorsportsis Top Notch Howard Tanner is one of the best in the business GM actually had him re create some ZL1 Camaros. Also like others above have said some pretty good shops RPM, LMR,Vengence. all top notch.

Check out PCM of NC in Mooresville. They are a sponsor of 5th Gen Camaros of the Carolinas, its a pretty decent sized club as well. I think we have around 18x members and its all 5th gens.

Yes google them, make sure you look at the dates too. Your going to hold someone to issues they had many years go? There are definitely some other good tuners out there, but get real facts. A+ from BBB

I have the HPE 700 very happy after several thousand miles. It really is a nice upgrade to an amazing car.

The guy leaning towards lmr please check out G-Force motorsports in pearland Texas the owner mike whitehouse has had a cts-v since they been out. He has the knowledge inside and out for the lsa motors and you will leave with a lot more horsepower for less money than these other company's. Got my zl1 done over a year ago there and I drive mine hard zero issues. Running high 10's in the quarter on drag radials with a six speed
