Henderson is right down the road in New Braunfels but if I had a shop an Uber ride away from me it would help me feel more confident in my decision to buy a Z

Crossed Flags in Magnolia comes highly recommended but probably not a Uber ride away for you.

Having Corey in New Braunfels and Steve (Crossed Flags) in Magnolia is about as good as it gets. Steve has an enclosed trailer and can do pickup/delivery (for a charge of course), but is well worth it to not have to deal with it. C4 ZR-1s are fairly reliable once they are in a good state and as long as you exercise them regularly. I can definitely attest that Steve @ Crossed Flags does great, thorough work and would take care of you.

IMHO
Graham Behan should have his own special status above all the rest. His depth of knowledge with the LT5 is far beyond anyone else. From being involved with design to modification I can not think of anyone who comes near his depth of understanding and attention to detail. I am sure many shops here have called him for information.
That is where my car is and I know I have nothing to worry about. He even Repaired pieces from another shops work. Found all the missing parts I did not get.fixed damaged electrical fx3 and the like.
He is the guy. He is worth the drive.

Amen~! some of my best times were hanging with Graham after John passed. Graham has forgotten more than we'll ever know and has built the lt5 in the most amazing configurations. Riding around with Will in his TT 385 ruined me. Graham, now that you aren't with LPE, can you do more TT LT5s??? I've punched up the LS engines but they just don't have the moxy and sex appeal of the lt5

I can see graham mastering the lt6 as he's an engineer ameritus and can figure it out and make it better, regardless of what it is.

Graham, hope to see you again soon, the LSV needs love.

Not real sure about this guy, but they say he "wrote the LT5 book" This is of course a joke. Graham was a senior engineer for Lotus who supervised the LT5 development into a production engine. He did, literally write the book & has mentored virtually every top tier shop listed here.

In the ZR-1 world Graham is a legend. Better contact info so we can send more work his way (assuming he wants it) would be appreciated.

I don’t know if he wants his number released. I would suggest you contact him via email and ask. I don’t want him mad at me while he has my car😇

South Georgia Corvette, Aaron Scott owner. Arron worked on my car just before the C4 Gathering this year. New injectors, hot chip, all fluids changed and a general check over so I could enjoy the trip. This shop is a Tier 1 shop plus. Aaron is on of a few shops that fabricated a twin turbo LT5. He knows the LT5 inside and out. On numerous occasions GM top brass has not only inspected his shop. Seen all his cars but drove the twin turbo. If you just need maintenance or a high performance ZR1 save yourself a lot of aggravation and talk to Aaron.
To top it all Aaron is a really nice guy.

Aaron Scott is a first class ZR-1 tech, and a great guy.
Top this- On a trip from South Fla. To the Gathering in BG, I had problems with my ZF6 trans. I limped into his shop in S. Georgia thinking I would never make the Gathering. He dropped what he was doing and pulled the trans., shipped it to Bill B. for a rebuild, LENT me a ZF6 he had on the shelf, and got me back on the road again. I got to BG and then home with no problems.
When my trans got back I went up to his shop and he re-installed it. No charge, except for the time to do the trans swaps.
If only I lived closer to South Georgia, no one would touch my car except Aaron Scott.
