I've found several chassis dynos in mich. 2 specielize in ford 4.2 mustangs. I found one in Grand Rapids. They seem geared toward chevy but not limited. I have'nt made any contact with them yet.
Livernois Motorsport just outside of Detroit. They are primarily a Mustang shop, but have quite a bit to offer for the LS1 too.
I believe livernois is what I was looking for. thank you very much.

I've been shooting for a 5 grand budget. but more than likely I will be looking at about three grand. the heads cam exhaust and tune at livernois is 5000+ and will offer an unclaimed amount of hp. I've read several threads that show over a 100hp for the combo.
my thought is to port and polish ls1 heads, find a cam to match, headers, ory and tune. I think I can get all that done for around $3000.
that would leave money for gears shocks and spring.
Why not do it yourself? I know that at first, it seems like a huge challenge, but with the right tools, manuals, and help for these boards, you might be surprised how much of the work you can do yourself. If you think that you will be interested in more mods in the future, doing it yourself can be a big money saver. I know that the parts cost plenty already, but the labor cost about as much.
