LNF upgrade in Austin TX area?

I just bought a black 09 SS with an auto trans. (Pics coming soon.) I plan to buy the Stage 1 LNF upgrade kit soon. Crate Engine Depot seems to have the best price. Has anyone had the kit installed in the Austin Texas area? I see that the GMPP website lists Henna Chevrolet in Austin and Don Hewlett Chevrolet in Georgetown as GMPP dealers. Does this mean that they can install the kit w/ out making me their guinea pig?

Turbotech works in Austin and has done at least 2 of them. You might try messaging him.

I've had my SS in at Hewlett a couple times (replace fuel pump, brake fix). They took all day to get the break fix done. Service Advisor (go to Sara) said next time she'd have the engine guy do it instead of the brake guy. She thought it would be in line with the engine guy's skill set. Bottom line, they are still learning. I would still take the leap and have them install the Turbo kit.

I'm friends with the service dept. manager at Henna (I-35 North just past the Rundberg exit) - as soon as CrateEngineDepot ships my backorder, I'll be taking it up there to get it installed. I'll post up a report once it's done, but I have no clue when it will be since I don't have the part yet. I may be a lil bit biased, but I can tell you that Henna's service dept has a great reputation and I definitely trust them to get everything in correctly. Not sure if they have any experience yet on the install or not, though.

While I'm there I also plan to get the sunroof rattle TSB fixed (it officially drives me insane now) as well as have them look at the latch on my left rear seat as it doesn't lock completely.
