^^ OK and I'm from CT and drive to Cartek
Honestly visit each shop and say Hi and see whats going on.. Cartek was the place for me.. My GTO is going to be there next week to go back on the dyno... Just a little re-tune before the 2008 race season as I have added a few things.. Cant wait to see there big new shop..

i live near mt holly nj. i dont mind traveling a little to get quality work and service. i just want to get my tunes straight and have somone swap out my transmission or rebuild it for me. what do you think would be cheaper? i was looking on 6speedinc.com and they have both rebuild kits and full transmissions, but you send your old one back in.

To put it concisely, I got engine/clutch/transmission work done at cartek and had nothing but problems(as did a few other people I know) and then had to have all the same work redone at TTP over the last 3 and a half years and am very happy with the results. I could go into more detail about my bad experiences with cartek but I don't want to hijack your thread. Matt (the owner of TTP) is also a very easy guy to deal with and really appreciates his customers. You could send a PM to TTPMatt.

We would be glad to take on the job. Unfortunately I am not equipped with the LT1Edit software to tackle the tuning part. The transmission I would have no problem rebuilding in-house, but I'm sure you want a shop that can handle everything with the car.
I would say give the guys @ Cartek a call... Otherwise I would be happy to take the task on.

Cartek will take good care of you they're the top LSX shop in the area IMO , and their track results reflect that , consistent , strong running , record setting cars , I've been a customer since 2000 . They're in a new , bigger building , the shop is better than ever . Good luck in your choice .
