Default Shops in Portland, OR?

I recently moved from Dallas to Portland. I was going to purchase a Viper, but have decided to keep the Vette, and make it go fast :)

Are there any shops that can do a heads/cam swap that are good? I'm thinking about h/c, headers, and maybe a 150 shot - but I don't want to pick a random shop, and don't have the room in the Portland house to work on the car. Anyone have any experiences?

Pewter,
Check with this shop. He has a great reputation with Corvettes. I don't know if he does what you want, but you can call and ask.

Welcome to Portland! I don't know of any shops personally that do NOS setups, but there are a couple people in our Vette club that have some pretty good exerience. Come out to the Friday night drags at PIR and you will probably find some knoweldgeable people as well.

Thanks for all the replies. I didn't want to take this car to someone I don't know anything about!
