Default Dallas, Texas shops?

I’ve got a 17 a8 c7 with axle back exhaust. I’m looking to have my car super charged and be tuned in the dallas area. I’m looking at either A&A kits or procharger. Who has experience with shops in this area and if a shop is reading this please feel free to DM a price of the kit, tuning and installation .

Dedicated Motorsports, in Round Rock, but moving to Ft Worth soon. Absolutely incredible service and the owner Matt Owen knows how to tune these things....

LG Motorsports have treated me well. I believe they are big on centrifugal sc's. Although I have a roots type, after a local popular place in Adison failed to solve problem, Mike at LG found problem in 10 seconds... and didn't even charge me.

Might try Patrick Sparks at Quality Motorsports in Lewisville. He's done all of my more complicated (cams, headers, rear ends) since 2001. C5's ,6's and 7's are about all they work on. Lots of supercharger installs.

21st Century Muscle Cars in Addison Texas for me!!! Not to take away from the other mentioned shops as they are great too, but this is just my opinion based on personal experience. Good luck...

Maybe they are good but I met the owner once many years ago and he was a jerk. I was at a track event at TWS and he was there with a customer car and he ran a couple of laps with a brake kit he had for the C5. I was asking him about the brakes and he was talking to me and I said I had upgraded my brakes too and he was asking about them and once I said I made them myself he instantly walked away and quit talking to me.

Patrick has also done all of my work, and I'm very satisfied. Another Corvette tuner, located in McKinney, is True Street. They, too, have a very good reputation. If for any reason I couldn't go to Quality Motorsports, I'd go to True Street.

LG or Patrick are great. LG has been taking care of the track rat as of late and they did a great job on a custom LS swap of mine.

I have only ever used 21CMC or LG since the early 2000's. Multiple cars, from minor work to major builds, you can't go wrong with either. (or both.)

Lots of people probably feel the same way now. Even if AMP's work in the past had been perfect, in the back of my mind I would always be wondering along the lines of..."If one of their employees is willing to do something like this then I wonder what they might do to my car or try to pull over on me?" All goodwill and trust right out the window over one dumb act as far as I'm concerned.
