New England Performance Shops?

Can anyone recommend a performance shop in the New England area, particularly near RI, MA, CT? Looking for a reputable, experienced, and cost efficient shop. I am located in Rhode Island and am willing to travel. I am looking to have a head and cam package installed. Thank you.

Steve did my Heads and cam install and did a very good and clean job. Made sure before I left an additional time that all my fluids were right.

Another vote for Don, and he does the tuning as well. (Just don't tell him I recommended him

)

He works out of Seekonk at DEZ, which is right across the street from Seekonk Race Track.

I have my work done at enhancedstreetperformance.com. My car is there now for a possible rear end change.

They can do anything you need on your car. Ask for Dave. I guarantee
you will be satisfied with their work.

I know you are not looking for a New York tuner,but it will be worth your travel to go to the Vette Doctors in Long Island, They did my vette and got 437 rwhp out of it.
