Look up gearhead fabrications in jensen beach, they specialize in mopar but do LS stuff. They tuned my procharged corvette. Good luck.

Second shout-out to Lyle@C&S!! Call first, because there are a few things they won't do. Not many, but a few. Just make sure they do engine swaps. If they do, you'll be in good hands.......

I'm in South Florida and could help you out. I've been around C5's, and LS engines for more than 20 years. Doing a complete drivetrain overhaul now at the shop on a 2002 C5 Vert if you want to stop by and see the progress. Here's an LS1 I just finished rebuilding.

Here's the block I started with. Also, the assembled drivetrain on the floor about to go back in the car.

Does C&S do performance work and tunes such as CAMs, rear gears, headers, etc.? I thought they only restored OEM.
