Performance Shops in Houston???
Hey guys looking to step up the base 430 HP Vette I own. I have done some performance upgrades but they have been simple like intake, exhaust axel back etc. Nothing serious.
Looking at putting on a supercharger etc. and getting it to over 600hp.
Are there any shops in the Houston area that everyone agrees on is the best, reliable and have great reviews?
I have heard England Green is worth looking into. Any others?

It wasnt too long ago when I would rep LMR. Yeah they make some nice HP cars, but unfortunately, Ive learned first hand that unless they do ALL of your work then you can count on half *** anything else. And if and when something blows, youll be stuck in the cold. Even if it was 100% their fault..

We install superchargers.
Hennesy and lmr both use the edelbrock eforce kits with their name on it.
Same as we install.
We install 1 a week on average.
We have built a ton of c6's making 600rwhp using the eforce 599 kit as a starting point.
We install the 599 eforce kit for only $8,300
give me a call to talk about your options and goals.
Ask for matt in parts 1-800-829-6434

Going with Corvettes of Houston...I did not know they did the whole nine yards from installation to tunning etc.
I bought the car from them in 2009 and they are right around the corner...!!
Talked to Matt today and he explained whats included without the risk of other less trustworthy groups...

LMR half-assed a tune on my friends GTO. Horrible street manners on a medium cam 6.0
I've only used powerfab since I've moved here last march.
Has anyone had experience from them as well as others for a comparison?

For the life of me I can't get some shops in Houston to take my money. I get correspondence with them, agree on prices....then I ask to bring my car in (sometimes several times) and never get a response. I guess business is pretty good right now, lol.

Great group of guys over there. Both our shops work together to help each other out from time to time now.
as they do lots of heavy fabrication and we have all the very expensive diagnostics equitment.
