Need Pricing for Head & Cam install or where to
Hello Everyone,
I live in PA just 10 minutes north of Philadelphia. I would drive up to 2 hours if I had to.
I have a 2001 Corvette that need some parts installed and a DYNO tune. I would love to know before and after dyno numbers, but not a must. I just want quality work, at reasonable price. Its winter time so now the time to have it done. If I find the prices are too high I am just going to to it myself, But it would be my first LS1 so I hope a LS1 pro will do it for a reasonable price. With all that said here is what I have to be installed. Please PM me a price if you are shop, or if you could point me to a good shop. That would be great.

I think that’s it.
Thanks for looking.

I checked your profile but couldn't find out where you live. Someone that might help needs to know where you are!

County Corvette in West Chester, right off of RT. 202. 610-696-7888, ask for James Turner. They can do the work and have a dyno ready to go.

Myself and many guys from work do use them. I wanted to see what else is out there. My setup isn't extreme. So I was thinking of shopping this one around. Maybe find a new shop for the crew lol. I generally do all my own work, hence that's why i have all the parts for install, but the oil pump locked up in my turbo stang, and now i have to rebuild that thing.

What a lucky bunch we are that there are so many choices close to us.
I can vouch for both RPM in Delaware and ECS in Central NJ. Both will treat you right.

Thank you everyone for the help. I am leaning towards RPM. Fran had been great, and very quick with replying. He might even have best price, which is my driving factor here.

Man ECS has surprised me again. I think they just gave me a deal I can’t refuse, and since I know them and many of us here use them. They are probably going to keep me coming.

You guys might have missed it in my post. I am an Automatic, and yes the Cam was designed for a stock stall LOL. I know lame. But I was given the heads for free. So I decided to add some extra power. This isn’t my race car.

With that said, you guys think the stock A4 will be ok at this power level? anything we should do to it at the same time? Cooler?

The stock trans should be ok with just heads and cam. If you are running the stock converter you will be ok. We will use a tranny cooler as we start using bigger stall converters as they generate more heat.
