Default Speed Shops in Minnesota?

Hi People,

Just got back from a tour in Afghanistan and I am looking forward to getting my machine out of storage and on the road. Of course I have some cash to spend and I want to put it into my C6. I have only found one place in Minnesota that does upgrades etc. HiTech Motor Sports. Anyone heard of it? Anyway I would love some recommendations on some good speed shops even in some surrounding states.

Thanks a lot!

Another great shop is www.boosperformance.com . John is a top notch guy. He's built some of the best performing Vettes in MN. He did lots of work on my son's (Git Er Dun) C5. Thanks for your service. My son is Army Reserve, 88M, has done one tour in Iraq so far. Welcome back, now is time to have fun, but not too much. You should check John Boos out.
