Cartek
Very satisfied :) Dave and Julio are awsome at what they do. Julio is the tuning wizard. From my experience with them ....they have always go that extra mile for me to make sure that I am satisfied with my setup. They are currently working on my new z-package with NOS setup.

K, I was leaning more towards Cartek because they are the closest to me.
I was wondering...since I have a 2000 A4 Coupe....can I get their Stage II LS6 Heads or cause I have a LS1-I have to get the Stage II LS1 Heads?

Cartek is the way to go. My car runs great and the service is #1. I know it because i am in the customer service field. They are not to far from you 2/12 hr. My car makes 447 and 401 RWHP and TQ. :cheers:

I got my parts from Cartek and they did my dyno-tuning but I had Tony's Corvette Shop in Gaithersburg do the installation. Tony has plans to get his own dyno so by the time you're ready he may be able to handle the tuning part. I have a lot of faith in Tony's operation. I recommend that you visit both places and decide.

Re: Which H/C package to get?? (USMUSCL)
Personally I can recommend the ARE "Street Eliminator" Heads and cam package. You get a set of ported and polished LS1 heads with new stock size valves and compcams 918 springs,retainers a,seal AND a choice of ANY cam that ARE has(Lunati,Compcams,custom grind)
The results were great....over 45 net RWHP and 20 RWT for only $1650.00..!! That's a bang for the buck. I went with the 226/226/554 -114LSA cam but there are some great grinds. Call Nick Agostino atr ARE or Matt G at Exit 28 motorsports for more details and installation costs.:D
