New C6 Z06 owner in AL

Made the jump from Porsche to Vette; will see how it works out on the track shortly. Have to say; despite some of the short falls between the two, the Vette is a lot more comfortable for daily driving!

Now I just need to get better sounding speakers and some head work.

Most of the local groups do HPDE / DE's there. They also have pro racing events and a museum worth the trip alone.

Is there a good shop in / near Huntsville that can do the LS heads fix? Not looking for a rebuild just the preventative stuff. I've found a couple online but have no idea if they are recommended.

Thanks for any help.
