Default Looking for a recommended shop GA/SC or NC

Does anyone have a shop they recommend (or one to avoid) in GA, SC or NC?

I live in Columbia SC, and I'm looking to change out my vortech 3.8 pulley to a 3.6. I also want a meth kit, blower cam, clutch, QA1 install, and a fuel system upgrade on a 08 C6 LS3.

I got burned badly on a shop that worked on my cobra back in the day, and I would like to avoid funding another bad shop.

Feel free to send me pm's if you want to keep your opinions quiet. Thanks a bunch guys & gals! Have a great weekend!

We are also available and fairly close to you relative to some others. You won't go wrong with either us or Vengeance Racing. We can't whine & dine ya with marble floors and such like Vengeance (LOL), but our quality of work and customer service will go toe to toe with anyone.

Give me a call if you have any questions.

Highly recommend Josh. He is currently building a C5Z for me front to back and top to bottom. He also has done and will do more work on my GTO. He is a stand up guy and will shoot straight with you. I haven't referred him yet where the customer wasn't pleased with the results. Good luck with your build.

Spartan all the way. Josh will do a high quality build for you and will stand buy his work. I manage 3 repair shops and he is the only person that works on my car. He is now doing a stage 2 trans and diff build installing 373 gears right for me. This is the third time that I have brought my baby to him and I'm positive that it will not be the last.
I will PM you my number if you have any questions.
