I still don't see what's the problem with working on LT1's for some shops. They can be made to run with LS1's, and have lots of performance potential. I guess some shops will only work on "easy" cars to get power out of, and aren't up to doing a little homework to get a car to run. They laughed at someone's car because it was an LT1? I would have pulled my car right the hell out of there, and wouldn't even bring it back to have my tire pressures checked. There are a few shops that will do performance work to LT1's, you just gotta look. I would go check out Stage 1 in Pompton Plains, and ask for Rob, the owner. They do LOTS of Buick GN stuff, LS1's, LT1's, Mustangs, older musclecars, and everything in between, no imports though. He did the gears in my 12 bolt when I did the 4.10's, his work is excellent! I do 98% of my own work, and trust almost no one to work on my car, but if I ever do need anything done, I go to Stage 1, hands down. Do your homework when taking your car to a shop to have work done, check out their facility BEFORE having them do anything! Yes, I did check out TTP, but I will still be going to Stage 1.
