Default So Cal. Speedshop

I go to school in the LA area and I know there has to be a good stang speedshop somewhere around there. If any of you guys know of one and have experience with them could you please let me know. With my new parts on the way (kooks exhaust upds electric water pump and suspension) I am in need of a trustworthy place with a good price. Also any good speedshops that do custom tunes.

Thanks

R&E Racing - Lancaster - parts and service

Hawaii Racing - Simi Valley - parts

Earl's Automotive - San Fernando - service

I recommend buying parts from R&E and having Earl install them.

Chicane Sport Tuning (http://www.chicanesport.com) is probably one of the best mustang shops in L.A. county. They're located in Torrance. Joe worked for Saleen for a number of years before starting his own shop. They've done a lot of work for Overhaulin' too. In fact Joe's been on the show (Ruststang) and does all the finishing work on the Mustangs Overhaulin does.

Torrance, That's too far for Me, In any case I lik R&E, I wish there was a place in Victorville Ca or even Barstow Ca that would install aftermarket parts as I'm no mechanic.

STAY AWAY FROM GRC! Seriously. They've lost motors on the dyno at that shop. GRC Performance and Xtreme Mustang Performance are to different places. GRC is in Mission Viejo. XMP is in Aliso Viejo. Go to XMP. XMP Eric at XMP is also a former Saleen employee and knows what he's doing. I had work done at GRC and I won't be going back. Many people in my Saleen club have had or heard similar things.
