Katech or RPM?
I have a deposit down on a low miles one owner 2009 Z06. I'm looking to first have the heads fixed/ported with a cold air intake and tune, and to follow it up a year or two later with a stage 3 cam, manifold, and exhaust package. Should I go with Katech or Race Proven Motorsports to perform the work, and why? I want to stick with the same shop for both phases of work.

Race Proven Motorsports. Especially since you are local to them. They do an insane amount of C6Z's

Thanks, I was leaning towards RPM. Katech has built a great name for themselves, I just see less feedback on the work that they do.

Either shop does great work. I've always wanted a Katech car! Just because they helped GM since the beginning with the LS7. The decal they give is cool too lol.

I prefer dealing with locals so I have someone to yell at if things go wrong.
