Default Good Local Shop to install 4.10 Gears?

Hey Guys,
I'm looking for a good Local Shop (drive train specialty shop) to install some 4.10 Gears in my 2011 GT500.
I'd also like to get some references for a good local "all-around" speed shop/mechanic for other misc mods/work for the car down the line.

I'm in Orange County, CA.
Any recommendations would be great!

Thanks
-Joel.

Holly ****...4.10s in a 2011 GT500. Wouldn't that be the equivalent of 4.30s or 4.56s in a 05-10 manual?

Joel where abouts in OC are you? I live in Irvine. Isn't traction already an issue with stock GT500s? 4.10s will make this even worse. Just my 2 cents, you may want to reconsider. As for finding a reputable shop, check out Yelp.com for reviews.

p.s. If you find a shop you're happy with please pass their details along to me. TIA.

The 2011 comes stock with 3.73 gears already; I would think going up one gear ratio to 4.10 would not be an issue, but not sure.

Well, I just recently moved up to the South Bay, but I had my 4.10s installed by JBA down in San Diego. They've done all my car work to-date, and have an impeccable tech staff!!!!! Not exactly local, but they do fit the quality requirement fo sho! Plus you can put on some break in miles on the way home! Always an upside to everything LOL

JBA also did mine in San Diego several years ago - No complaints

I have heard horror stories about JBA especially regarding gear install. I know a few people that wouldn't let JBA change their oil

For 1st and 2nd it's like 3.55's in a 05-10 gt.
