Default A good shop near Roanoke?

Are there any good shops that do work on newer model V8's, like cam/head/nitrous on a LS1 around the Roanoke area? Thanks.

Have you already picked out what you want your obituary to say?

negative drunk post edited.

Joey is familiar with LS1s. That's where I'd go.

LS1 into a FC, and yes I can install a nitrous kit. Why did you ask that? I am looking for a shop that can do all of that work, not saying I couldn't do the work. I was saying heads/cam/nitrous as like the kind of work they could do. The only thing I really need the shop to do is install the cam. I could actually do that to but I don't want to take the time, and I have never done it before either.

Haha, I hope it doesn't come to that. It won't be that fast anyway.

Do it yourself anyways, every single thing I have done to my car is the FIRST time I have done it.. just dive right in then you are forced to finish it yourself hehe..

Go to some LS1 forums for a howto or something..

x2.

The internet is an amazing thing. No matter what it is, there's always been someone else that has done it before and can help, or might have documented it before.

As soon as I said I want a shop to do it because of time, I thought why the hell not. So I found this. Guess I will do it myself, why the hell not?

Troy Young of TEC Automotive can do it for you. He is in the Boones mill area. Good friend of mine and used to do a lot of my work on my 1990 5.0 Mustang. He can do about anything you take to him. IE Gears, welding, performance, etc.
