Looking for a performance shop in the bay area/sacramento area.
Hello fellow vette lovers,
I am looking for a shop that can install and tune one of the bolt on supercharger setups for my '15 Z51 7M. I live out of state but will be in the central valley/bay area for a wedding for around 10 days in April and feel getting this done in Cali is a much better idea than my home state of Montana. I am just looking for a bolt on kit install (maybe procharger?) and a full 91 octane dyno tune. Looking for a reputable shop as the tune is everything on this kind of setup.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for all the referrals everyone. To the OP, do you know what brand of supercharger kit you're looking to install? We're a Magnuson dealer and have a lot of experience installing them, but we've also installed just about every other brand of blower on the market. Feel free to PM me with any details or questions you have. We'd be happy to set something up and provide a complimentary loaner car while we work on your Corvette.

This muffler setup is for sound check for race tracks such as Laguna Seca. The Sound test booth is located on the right side of the track at this specific turn so most loud cars get exhaust setups that turn the noise away from the sound station.

Exactly right. That particular car has a 480 CID Katech engine in it and it made some noise. The customer needed to be able to run at Laguna so we fabricated a second set of 2 stage Burns Stainless mufflers that he could add to the mufflers under the car. It seriously knocks the noise down and allows him to have fun at Laguna.

Thunder Hill is 104 and depending on weather, I often need to install my turn down pipes as well.

I am so beyond excited to get this done! Thank you all again for the recommendations, I feel that I will be in good hands.
After being a part of many toxic car communites over the years I must say the corvette community just feels like something much more special and good.
Thank you all and I hope to be a member for a long long time!
