Default Reputable Shops...

in Texas? I have a set of 1 7/8 headers on the way and a Corsa catback(Love the sound of these). Would like to find an installer of these along with a S/C purchase and install, tune... Any suggestions on S/C are welcome and any other mods I'm missing maybe? I'm in Austin but don't mind driving to Houston, Dallas, or S.A. I want a very streetable car for weekends and occ. track visits... the vette is not my DD.

Thanks in advance,
Kurtis

Icon Autosports in Stafford (just south of Houston)

They have done plenty of S/C installs on C6 vettes. They have an in-house dyno for all the tuning. Mike and crew are very easy to deal with and don't believe in a "Corvette tax".

Corvette Tax HAHA! That's funny and true so I hear... and is why I ask for rebutable shops, guess I should have added "that won't rip me off" also. Thanks guys, I'll look them up.

LG Motorsports in DFW area is top notch. I'm sure one of them will chime in shortly.

I vote for Dallas Performance.

Obviously, from my sig you can see that they have done some work for me and tuned my car but I have also dealt with another "reputable" shop in the DFW area and they didnt hold a candle to Dallas Performance.

You will absolutly not regret giving Taylor a call

Dallas Performance combined with their Procharger kits are synonymous for building some of the biggest hitters in the corvette world. Definately worth calling..

Nelson Performance in SanAntonio, TX did my TVS, a Magnacharged MP122 truck, a front mount turbo truck, plus tunes on several other vehicles. All work was first class and done at a very reasonable rate. Good bunch of folks.
