That is like asking what restaurant serves the best food. It depends if you want Italian or Indian and if price is important.
Lingenfelter is the single best source of 'vette performance parts and advice. But they tend to cost alot: but I never felt I did not get a good value for the money, and I wouldn't trust anyone else under the circumstances (I eventually drove my car one time at 203 mph, at which speed $1500 headers and wheels that cost $1300 a piece don't seem too pricey). Ecklers is good if you know what to order. SLP has good kits that have components balanced to work together. The best single mod available for the recent 'vette is a Magnusen (Eaton) supercharger kit -- works perfect, great power, and depandable, too.
MTI offers good parts but my experience is that the ship the wrong part of model # about 15% of the time - maybe I was just unlucky. They also tend to tune and stress cars farther than Lingenfelter and what they recommend will probably be a bit rough for the street and might push stock components too far.
You really need to start reading isseu after issue of GM High Performance mag, etc., and paying attendtion to product reviews. Companeis that consistently make good products in every review (Crower, etc.) you can count on for quality every time.
