Default Going south

I’m headed to Pensacola Florida the first of Oct. for the winter. I’m looking to get headers and supercharged while I’m down there and a better tune of course. My question is What is the best speed shop that has C7 experience down that way. Willing to drive 500 miles to have it done by a C7 experienced shop. I want it done right the first time, looking to get at least 600 HP, any forum speed shops in the area? Pensacola is on the Gulf about 50 miles from the Alabama border.

I would also second FSP in Bradenton, but that may be kind of far for you. They did my car and I'm very happy with their work.

We are on the west coast of Florida, central, about 1 hour south of Tampa... We have a ton of client's in the panhandle that drive on down to us. If you want we can install the headers, supercharger kit, and perform the tune in only a couple of days, hang out at the beach we'll get you a loaner car and then drive your new toy back home!

FS&P and Vengeance. I will get in touch with both of you when I get down to Florida (Oct.) and to see what your price and time frame you have for my needs. I can hardly wait
