Larocca's Performance in Englishtown, NJ can do it. They basically built my entire car. You will not be disappointed in any of the work they do to your Mustang.

Nope that's with everything included and a rear rebuild I think but it still seems a little high to me. Yeah Downs is like 5 min from my house I'll give them a call.

Stay far away from Downs Ford, especially if you are having work done on the rear.
They cross-threaded one of my lugs, scratched the hell out of my new chrome rims
and didn't put any pre-load on the carrier bearings they were replacing. Had to
have the entire rear rebuilt a year later. I wouldn't let them fix my lawn tractor :damnit:

That's funny he is opening a shop in Brick. Maybe I should just wait for the shop to be open in Brick....YEAH RIGHT! HAHA. I can't wait to get done with this semester of college and get my intake installed sitting in my garage as well as the Gears.



This is the price he gave me.
Gears-$160
Install Kit-$100
Trac Loc Rebuild with labor-$150
Fluids-$30
Labor-$300
Grand Total-$740

I'll let you know how I like them when I get them done. Did you run your car before and after gears? If so how much of an increase did you see?
