These are vendors or manufacturers I've done personal business and my experiences. For more links, see Web Links. My disclaimer is just because I may have had a problem with a vendor, it doesn't mean you will have problems, too (there, they cant sue me!).

Bow Tie Overdrives 700-R4 and other GM overdrive transmission specialists.  Even though I haven't got the car running, up to this point, these guys have been great. Very personable, shipped quick, and the warranty does not start until AFTER the tranny is actually installed! Try that with a TCI. Oh, and they were the cheapest.

DynoMax Purchased 3/4 headers part # 86118. Neutral with these guys. Headers had to be banged around, #5 & #6 will need shorty plugs. Collector flange is not welded in place so it banged around a scratched the ceramic coat. Poorly packed by factory - went through 3 sets of headers and finally mixed & matched to make a set without substantial damage.

I sent  my subframe, core support, both inner fenders, transmission cross brace, and convertible X-pan out to RMI. THEY WERE AWESOME! Total cost for stripping and coating was $300. For those in Kansas City Area, they are highly recommended.
