Best tuning shops in the U.S.

Hey all I've had my ZL1 for a while, I don't drive it much because I own quite a few cars, but I'd love to know the shops you consider best in the country... Incase I decide I wan to make my first muscle car insane instead of just fast as hell.

I would rate Livernois as arguably the best in the US. This is from experience, top notch work and the numbers at the track to back up the dyno numbers.

JDP Motorsports, Starkweather Performance, and Wongs Performance in Vancouver, Washington are all really good. I would be comfortable and happy taking my sled to anyone of these shops. I personally had mine built by JDP and have friends that had theirs built by Starkweather and Wongs. Great guys and high quality work.

One good thing is that there is no shortage of great shops. While every shop likely has a few checkered reviews. JDP, Vengeance, redline, Jannetty, are all great, the list goes on and on. Just be very clear what you want, what your budget is, and you should have a pleasant build experience with lots of fun on the other side.
