I have heard of those guys. Have you used them before? Have they got a lot of experience with corvettes? Any additional information you can provide, would be helpful.
Thanks

I have not used them before - no money for mods!

I know they have worked on C4s - forum member "Nathan Plemons" is associated with them somehow and they did the work on his car.

There is also "The Performance Garage" on Sixth Avenue.

Also, someone here knows of a shop in Murfreesboro, but I can't remember any more than that.

Call Performance Garage. Talk with Chris Berkey, tell him Wade in Knoxville sent you.

:withstupid: Check with BryanC on the forum. I am pretty sure they did the heads on his Vette. He was very pleased with their work.

AllCammedUp in Louisville has used TEA in Bowling Green and they did an excellent job on his heads/cam. He is pulling 420rwhp and 417rwtq, so they must have done something right.
The only local place is the Performance Garage, but they don't do tuning yet. I talked to Chris in February when I had my car dyno'd and he was thinking of getting LS1edit, but hadn't decided yet.
Just a word of caution. Stay away from Reil Performance Engineering.

Yes they did a nice job on my heads. Not too quick on turn-around though. He stays pretty backed up on porting. They are mainly a machine shop known for their head porting. I did all the work on my car myself. You sound like you're looking for an installer. They may do some of that. check www.totalengineairflow.com
