Default HELP: Need a Performance Shop In AZ

I just moved to Prescott, AZ. I'm in need of a performance shop for my 2008 Vette. Looking to have some LT's installed and don't want just some"exhaust" shop to say yeah, NP and scratch up the coated headers, cross-thread the aluminum heads, etc. I may be also looking to get nitrous installed, but will also need a dyno tune as well, either way.

Somewhere up here near Prescott Valley would be great, but I'm willing to make the drive down to the Phoenix area for a quality shop!

Thank you!!

Go to the Southwest forum here and you will get all the recommendations you can handle. I have dealt with three performance shops in Phoenix. The only one to do flawless work so far was Top Gear (replaced rear end). I have not dealt with Cordes.

Here is a recent pic of the shop showing that we are primarily Vette LSX based, we do work on vipers, cobra's, etc also, but our bread and butter is C5,6,7.
