I highly recommend Speed Inc. Talk to Larry.

They did all my installs: cam, longtubes, shocks, modified my z06 exhaust, and tuning.

Kevin is a good guy and we do all the tuning for Libertyville, so you can't go wrong there.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I really appreciate it! I live on the south side of chicago. I purchased my vette from libertyville chevrolet and they installed my borla stingers. Very very satisfied. Ive been checking around to get estimates from other places like corvette mike and d & m. It helps to hear ppl recommend places that have done work on their cars. Im gonna email larry now. Thanks again fellas
