Default Highly Recommended NE Performance Shops

Good Evening All,

A bit new to the C7Z game and I am planning out my 2021 performance build for the car. I have the majority of the parts sorted but I am curious who one of the better shops in the CT area might be. I do not mind driving to any of the surrounding states or shipping the car if it's a bit further than that.

Any highly recommended installers and/or tuners? Installs I can do myself, the tuning part is not something I am skilled at and would like to get this right on the first try

Thanks All, saw some nice C7's in Farmington this past weekend at the DreamShow, hope to meet some of you soon at a cruise!

Mike

I've checked with two reputable shops so far in the northeast, and neither are interested in dealing with parts that aren't purchased through them. Good luck.

Northeast speed shop, Amsterdam NY.

A small shop but I have seen and ridden in a late model supercharged Vette he has worked on.
Has a good rep in the area!

It really depends on which mods you are considering.
No disrespect to any shop but if I were to mod another vette and didn't want to do the work myself, it would go to ECS in NJ.

Slowhawk Performance in Bridgewater MA. Don Kinder is by far the best in the business when it comes to GM performance. He specializes and only does GM vehicles. Over 20 years in the business. I wouldn't trust anyone else.

Got my tune at East Coast Supercharging and couldn't be happier with the results. You'd be hard pressed to find a better tuner than Doug.

Might be a bit of a drive for you, but call Doug Ring (609-752-0321) at ECS in Cream Ridge NJ.... https://eastcoastsupercharging.com/. Excellent work & excellent reputation in the NE.
