MDmotorsports in Cincy is a great shop as well. Owners have also had a lot of mag coverage. Good luck!

I'm from central OH too but I haven't had much luck finding a good shop in the C-bus area. I had my 4.30's installed by a shop that Jegs highly recommended but I wouldn't recomend them. They had the car for a total of four days (on two occasions) and have installed two different sets of gears (Richmond first and now FRPP) but haven't been able to completely get rid of gear noise. I'm still working with them and am trying to decide what to do next.

I did find a shop in the Dayton area (Beavercreek) that I highly recommend though. The shop is Precission Autosports and Jeff Wightman is the owner. It is about an hour and a half away from the NE side of Columbus.

Well the only reason i was looking for somewhere in Central ohio is, thats where i work. I actually live a little north and west of columbus (about 1 hour) so i am really up for anywhere in ohio. I am mainly looking for shops that no what they are doing. A good friend of mine works at the Local Chevy dealer in town(Bellefontaine,Ohio) and he has a guy there that will do it for like $150 for labor if i get the parts. The only the reason I am hessitant(pardon my spelling) is that the guy seems to do mainly GM rearends. I rode in my friends car (96 LT1 formula) that the same guy installed 3.73s in, and u couldnt hear any gear wine at all so...I dont know gonna keep my options open though.

Nobody in Ohio has a Ford dealer they use? I was kinda leanin towards one of them(Ford Dealer) but I will check on a few other places. Thanks for the info so far.

RazorX I will look into Precission Autosports. Do you have thier Number or maybe a weblink? Thanks

Well I got an appointment to have 4.10s and an Xcal2 put in and dyno tuned by Jeff next friday(16th). I cant wait to get my car back. Hes going to install the 4.10s and I am gonna bring down a JLT 2 CAI intake and he is gonna dyno tune the car with the xcal 2(that i bought from him) for the CAI and for 93 octane.

Jeffs a good guy to talk too, he was great to deal with so far.
