DEZ Racing down in Fall River, or CD Performance in the same city. I got mine done by CDP, I believe it was $225 or so. Great job.

there is actually a pretty good thread in the northeast forum on shops.

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.....
