Default Performance shops in Florida

I live in Sarasota FL and wanted to know of any reputable performance shops in Florida that can do head, cam, and tune type work, Ive only used Rapidmotorsports for any work on my car but that is quite a drive since I moved to FL! Thanks!!!

stay away from breathless in my opinion. there are many that are better (again in my opinion) if you are coming all the way to the east coast, horsepower sales in pompano beach or gold coast corvette are corvette "specialists" and very good. in addition, dynamic turbo in plantation does excellent work. any or all of these are a bit of a trip however from sarasota.

They're far from you but Horsepower Sales of Florida in Pompano Beach is good. You could make a nice trip to Miami out of it.

Will do...I plan on making a thread showing the evolution of the changes etc.

Any shows coming up that you know of...I know this really isn't show season given the heat and humidity.
