Yea i hear you bud....i'm out in Boston too.....but i can't find anybody like that for my situation (surging while idling)
 
Folley's Fellsway Service in Medford I beleive up on the Fellsway. He does this sort of work on the side. Charged me $175 to put gears in and did it fast and without any probs. All my friends have gotten them installed there.

if you guys can catch Purple1995pony online, that's my father in law in southern mass. His mechanic works specifically on mustangs and is quite reasonable and does a wonderful job :nice:

oh really?....does he have an email address and can i use you for a referral?.....i'd like to take the ol stang there to get it looked at it by somebody who deals with stangs....

whatever you do, don't go to ed leonard in taunton. many people around here, myself included, have had very bad experiences there.

fortes is ok because they normally have the parts you need and you dont have to wait for it to be shipped to your house but the owner is an a$$


They do have a lot in stock. I know others have said they dont like Mike Forte, but I have to say that he went well out of his way to help me out with a problem I had with some parts.
 
Another plug for Dez racing in Seakonk. My dad and friend were up there Friday and tuned my friends car from its running like crap 360 rwhp, to a stout 486 rwhp, 490 rwtq, with only 3 pulls and $150! cant beat that.

He knows his Mustangs and has been racing them for a while!

I have heard good from laferierre racing too, just heard he was also busy, but definately take a look see what both can do!

He is not an ass,, just cause he doesn't kiss ass doesn't mean he's an ass,, he knows his sh-t!!! You would be that way if you had to answer stupid ?'s all day from people who "really" know nothing about fixing cars and try to fix them themselves.....
