In no special order other than how they come to mind:

Alternative Auto Performance: In Chesterfield. Lidio (owner) is a great guy; a talented and knowledgeable auto engineer and tuner. He pulled close to 600 HP from my brother's Mustang Cobra. In the past, he made his reputation on Ford engines, but he has since expanded into GM LS engines. In fact his personal car is a hot Pontiac G8.
http://www.alternativeauto.com/

Vector Motorsports is in Clinton Twp and only a couple of miles from Victory. It is owned by Steve; he has a dyno and he has extensive experience on LS3s; hundreds of tunes. Look him up on Camaro5. He has done a lot of work for cam5 members and they have been very happy with his work. So far, I am leaning towards Vector for my engine mods next spring.

Victory Racing Engines. I plan to visit them (Alex) soon and evaluate his shop.

Livernois Motorsports
http://www.livernoismotorsports. In Dearborn.

Alternative Automotive Technologies
http://www.altautotech.com I think they are in Troy.

Good luck, Alfie

Everything is good...thanks.

I met a couple of people at your shop while visiting with Frank.

To whom am I speaking to? Would you be Alex?

Hey I live over off of crooks and m-59 just around the corner, any way I went with victory racing, Eric the owner is a great guy to work with. He will go over everything you want and keep you informed of the process. Good luck

What about www.haroldmartin.com in New Hudson, MI? I have talked to these guys and they have an amazing shop. There were 4 SS's being modified at the time of my visit and I plan on having them upgrade my SS as soon as the roads are dry.
