Default LMR or EnglandGreen or who?

I had my stage two trans built by LMR and then tuned by them. I've had no issues what so ever so far. I am curious of other options out there, so please enlighten me. EnglandGreen was presented to me in other threads in the forum, but I wasn't given much detail. However, if it helps whoever answers, I plan on having a fully built ls1 with forged internals and a tvs2300 maggie on top. My goal for hp is atleast 700 to the rear.

Take it to Pat G in Victoria and be done with it. He's the best in the business at what he does.

I tried with him, but never got any answers or calls back so I looked else where.

call around see who gives you that warm fuzzy feeling. If it was me though I would go back to the place that I know did good work on my car.

These guys know one of the best tuners in Houston they use him for all there builds . Takes lots of know how to tune a big HP motor ,if turned wrong may make big HP but turn the pipes red way too hot and burn wires starter and on and on . They had lots guys come to them with just that deal way too hot for the street ,lots more to a tune that just HP got to be able to live with it . If I need a warm fuzzy feeling I'll hug my cat ,what people need that have spent $10,000 $15,000 on a big hp motor is someone that knows there stuff. Give them a try heard good stuff about them ..

It came up for me ?? But yes.. I guess there is more that one way to tune a big HP motor had some guys coming in with starters burnt up and wires burnt and way too hot in the Corvette ,the wipes were turning red way hot so sent them to there tuner and everybody was happy .. I go out to BS with them sometimes and we talk about bad tunes and builds sometimes..

Yup I been to a few shops that people say "are the best" or so and so is cool and a supertuner but when I went to go meet them I just didn't vibe or felt comfortable with them. Just like a relationship some woman you like and want to try and others you want to get away from very quickly... So whats great to you is jacked to me,,And you know how you figure out if you are compatible??? Talk to them first then go from there. Same with any person working on your ride..

OP I don't know EG or them personally or even LMR but I know they both have built ALOT of cars.If it was up to me and you already have had work done by LMR then go back to them if you liked them. Same with EG if they built something and I liked them I would probably go back to them..matter of fact go visit and sit down with shops that you are interested in and have a open conversation with what you want and expectations. Any shop worth a damn will make time for that. Basically you are the boss and you are hiring your next employee and you are interviewing the prospects. You are looking at 10k plus so choose wisely
