Welcome to the forum. If your willing to travel then I would recommend coming out here to Arizona and get your work done at Cordes Performance Racing. Talk to the owner Joe or check his posts out in the Southwest section or go to his web site.

I have had work done there a few times and I see vettes shipped in from all over the country, yes he's that good.

You will also see his advertisement in the headers of these forums as he is a vendor here.

Good luck with your decision.

I recommend Dynospeed in Memphis TN. They did a lot of mine and I’m super happy.

Joe's shop here in Arizona is great, Race Proven Motorsports is closer to you, they're in Delaware and frequently arrange out of state jobs. Both shops do regular content on youtube if you want to see what you're getting yourself into. Nic and Fran are both great tuners.

If you don't mind shipping your car up north we'd love to handle your project. We have plenty of options we can offer to get you to your goals safely and reliably. Shoot us a pm or give us a call for a quote. We'll get your attention with our pricing and you'll be impressed with the attention to detail. On a bigger build our pricing is usually low enough were you can work in the price of transportation.
