Is anyone aware of a speed shop/ performance shop around N.Dakota, even in Minnesota, Montana, S. Dakota that is up on vettes and can do headers, cams, dynos ect. I have no idea where to go and all of these East Coast shops are offering deals, I can't even find a shop within a thousand miles with a regular price, Anyone????

there's at least a couple in the Twin Cities area of MN. Rippie (DRM), a forum vendor, is west of the Twin Cities. I know they can do it all.

I'm in Minot also. I think Billion's in Sioux Falls may do that for you. Personally I'm taking mine to Vegas in September to have Garth at Leading Edge Performance do my headers and a tune. He'll give you a quote over the phone.

If you want to go as far as the Twin Cities in MN, also consider (John) Boos Performance in Zimmerman, MN (just NW of the cities). John races his own Corvette and does major performance upgrades. Don't know about a dyno, but he ought to be able to handle anything you'd want to do. Have gone to him myself for minor things (e.g. Z06 oil cooler on my base C6) and highly recommend him. I suggest you call him and discuss what you want to do; I'm sure he'll offer practical advice. Good luck!
