There are a few I've had personal experience with.....Horsepower Sales in Pompano and FyneTune Performance in Miami.

Horsepower Sales is gonna be expensive but they specialize in GM products and put out a lot of nice Vettes. They have a relationship with M. Norris of Norris Motorsports in Orlando to do their tuning so you can do a complete dyno tune after the swap (which you'll need if you're auto). They take the cars over to nearby Champion Porsche and Norris tunes it for an additional $500. Haven't been by in a few months but if memory serves their labor rate is up around $100 an hour.

FyneTune Performance is located down in Miami near the Tamiami Airport. They do work on all types of vehicles from domestic to imports. They have done quite a bit of work on my personal Vette and a few of my friend's cars.....both performance work and maintenance stuff. Their labor rate is $80 an hour and although they don't specialize in only GM cars (not a drawback in my opinion) I feel more than safe in their hands. They have an in-house AWD dyno and have a local dealer mech with LS1 Edit and HP Tuners who does their GM tuning at $350 or $400 a pop.

Check 'em both out and see which one fits you best. Good luck and hope this helps...
