Rate these shops
I am considering taking my car to one of the vendors however I do not know much about them! Could please PM in order of precedence if you were getting you car service with a cam swap and a COMPLETE tune. The reason I have included these shops and not other is because I am in the Midwest and I have to pay towing. Trying to keep the cost down. Fell free to add on a shop in this area!

I've a some work done at Synergy. There a great group of guys to work with.
But if I were you, I would have to go to DTE. WHY?? Cause their closer.
And their VERY good.

I have a buddy here in the office that just used DTE (Phil) and was very pleased with his service!
He did a c6 cam, gears and a couple other small mods...I rode in the car and it was flawless and ran fantastic.
I personally would use DTE after knowing of others pleasant experiences with him.
Way to go Phil !!!

Phil at DTE definitely a great choice. Extreme Motorsports does all my work. My two choices because of closeness was Extreme Motorsports and A & A Corvettes

Have you considered MC Racing in Overland Park, KS? I have heard good things about their work and they are familiar with C5s. Their phone number is 913-789-9888 - would be a lot closer than going to the places you mention. Don't consider this as a knock against those you listed, just another option to think about.
