I am from Tampa/St Pete and got my 3.73s installed at Lokey 4x4 center at Dale Mabry and I275. They did a good job and have great service, but are a bit pricey. 4x4 and offroad places do a lot of differential work and they were recommended to me by a few local ford mechanics. I have heard Coastal Dyno is good and Real Speed in Clearwater as well, butI have never had them do work for me.

How much did it cost you? I was quoted $225 for labor and oil from a place in Jacksonville. I thought that seemed pretty cheap, especially since they are well known.

dude....your in my home town...the only place I trust for dyno tuning with SCT tech is Justin at VMP tuning..he is 90 miles away...but well well worth the trip...coastal does diabolo. and fordspeeds tunes are mainly for off street use I am told....I would say take the drive to VMP...it will be worth it...

My install was $300.00 just for the labor and I provided the bearing kit, oil, and gears.
