Wow, they really take ownership of the term "hackjob". I remember as far back as '06 the guy in the thread was talking about ARD, glad I never took his advice.

You won't regret Nelson, even though Houston is a Mecca for LSX's. YOu can find a great shop there. Keep in mind that anyone who works on Camaro's or Firebird's will also be able to do trucks. Engines are very similar, yet have way more room. Please find a good shop, plenty to be had. Your truck is your second wife, if you have a first one. If not, then it is all you.

Ya i can take a video for you tomorrow and get it up but it cost me like 4100 for parts and everything. I put down 397rwhp 385 tq and i am 4 wheel drive. I would have broken 400 if it wasn't 102 degrees today in their shop! I haven't had any bad run ins with them so far and they have worked on a few of my cars. But looking at some of those threads above it does make me think twice...
