I think Dave's Total Performance is in or around Cinn. I know that this is not really close, but the only one that I can think of.

I have been talking to them for a while about doing some major mods on my Z06 this winter. I really have no experience with them, but in talking to them, they seem really knowledgeable about C5's.

I think his website is www.LT1dave.com

Also, I think that he is on LS1tech alot also.

Good luck

I have no idea what you consider "close" or the nature of your problem.

419-394-2371 ask for Troy Jones.

Troy has been a Vette tech for right at 15 years, and works for a dealer that sells over 300 vettes a year (top 10 dealer).

Troy is at Buds in St. Marys Ohio, which is about 90 miles from Columbus,

Good luck,

Maxton's Chevrolet in Columbus has one of the best. Jerry Dennison has been working on corvettes exclusively for 25 years. 614-885-5301

Also try Lloyd Harvey at Corvette Care in Columbus.

I've been in Columbus over 50 years and those guys would be at the top of my list.

In my opinion you should stay away from DTP. He is very bad news

I recommend Dale Clark at www.tachitupmotorsports.com, Had all my mods done by him and everything works great. He really knows his stuff. Also had him fix stuff the dealer couldn't fix. He is located right outside New Carlisle Ohio.
