??where to get motor/turbo installed at???

Alright so I currently lost my garage...so I am looking for someone to install a built longblock as well as a cartech twin turbo kit. Anyone know someone who would be up for it??? I have someone in San Antonio that has said he will do it, but thats a long drive so I would really like to stick to the Houston area. Any help would be awesome!! Thanks

Horsepower Engineering is an option....also Slater's Auto Works.....HPE is in Houston over in the Champions area off Bltwy 8 and Slater's is just outside of Humble off 1960 in Atascocita.....Good luck!

I think I am taking it to San Ant. All the pricing I've gotten so far has been a bit more then I was looking to do, granted I want quality work, I found a shop in San Ant. that will install everything for about $400 less than anyone I've found, plus Murillo is doing the tune- they tuned this kit originally. And is anything goes wrong Cartech is right there. Thanks for all the suggestions!!! I really wanted to find a shop in Houston area to call my own... but no one stepped up... I will say that Kris at THR was awesome, he called and really showed interest in doing this plus they were the least expensive out of everyone who quoted me, THR, Powerstrokes, Houston Performance, and TSS. I'll keep you guys up to date when I get my #'s, hopefully I can start coming to some of the meets, and not be so embarrassed about have a 260hp Saleen :thumbdown :jeff: :mick: Thanks Again!!
