I'd take Race Related off that list and put fordspeed.com in place of it. Joe at fordspeed is a cool guy who knows his shit.

I had my gear install done at race related and wasn't at all impressed with customer service (waited over an hour there to pay and get my receipt while my car was sitting there done) and the fact that he said he'd put it on the dyno for me and never came through. They may not be too bad, but that was my expierience with them

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I've had the gear for 6 months it's just fine. A guy in his early 20s put mine in though.

I've had all my work done by Fordspeed, great guys. Rob is one of the better engine builders around and both are very knowledgable..

there is also blue oval corral, but if your gonna do anything just buy parts off them. i had them build a motor and then it spun a bearing after 5,000 miles of driving and not even hard driving. now im paying over 4 grand for new rods and a crank just to get it running again.
