Why drive all the way to Florida when Cartek Racing is only 15 minutes away from South Plainfield?
And they are of course the best Corvette performance shop.

No doubt....Cartek has a great name but I already priced some performance mods with them and, unfortunately, they priced the work too high....and besides, I am in Tampa for now. Thanks for your reply.

Next Level Performance is the place to go for performance work. Geoff is the owner and a great guy and when it comes to corvette work he is 1 of the best. He also has to be 1 of the better tuners in the Florida area and is more than fair when you get the bill. Here's the #(407)869-7223. Tell him Charlie sent ya!

Well, South Plainfield is more central Jersey actually but I know what you're trying to say.

Are you permanently in the Tampa area?? There are a few good choices for sure in the Central FL area as well as Central NJ for sure.

Feel free to give me a call as well as other mentioned shops and between the calls and references and you should be able to make an educated decision from there. Each seem to have their own good following.

You may want to post up in the Southeast section also if you have not already.

Good luck and hope this helps.
