see that bar to the right....
click on the top box that puts them in alphabetical order..
There is an option to search them by zip code to find the ones closest to you. Try that out. But i will DEFINATELY suggest that you try out Speed Inc. Great guys there!

speed inc has good prices and a knowledgable crew, but they are a very busy shop, which causes their problems with turn around time and quality of work. I had to go back a couple of times to have them correct things thay did or should I say thet did not do

I hope tom or someone else from speed reads this; their inventory and shipping status suck.
1, I ordered a set of DRs a couple months ago I was told I would get a call when they came in, never did.... I ended up calling them and asking if they were in before i went down for them.
2, If you are going to have a cam special have the parts on stock, I decidid to put my cam in and needed springs. I thought since they were having a cam special that they would have the parts in stock....nope I edned up getting a set here used from the forum.
Besides that I really complain. They squezed me in to weld my cutout in a couple weeks ago on the same day I called about setting up an appointment.
I hope nobody takes offense to this post, I am a loyal speed inc customer 90% of the parts on my car have come from them and I will continue to use them in the future.

I like speed inc to, hell they are pretty much the only one that does the work onmy car. BUt they need to do something, either get a bigger shop and higher more people or something. I am getting tired of having to go back and forth there for them to correct **** they did not do correctly the first time. If they pay more attention to quality and turn over time there buisness would be booming a hell of alot more.
This is all constructive crit.

I've had issues with Speed lately, they've sent me the wrong parts several times and also forgotten to send them out, but tell me on the phone that they have. I also cancelled an order from them because of this and I've been waiting two weeks for a refund, even though I've been told twice on the phone it would get done immediately. I've been happy with the work Speed does at the shop, the exhaust work and tune I got were great but with the other stuff I don't really plan on taking my business back.
I'd say try Straightline Performance, they're smaller and haven't been around as long, but because of that are also easier to schedule work at. I rounded off a bolt on my cam install and so wasn't able to complete it. I called them on Wed. and they were able to come to Lafayette and trailer my car back and are finishing the install and tuning it over the weekend. They saved my ***, I would recommend them since to me they work with you a lot more.

I have dealt with Finish Line and Speed Inc. and they both have treated me right. For out of state stuff, it's Texas-Speed all the way.

i have no complaints with Speed except for everytime i call for something, its never in stock, other than that, ive not nothing but good things to say
havent had any expericene with Straightline, or FLP, although when i was calling around for the rear end install, FLP wanted like $4xx and Speed did it for half (twice i might add with no charge for the second time)
i try to install everything myself, and i just buy my stuff from Speed, cheaper prices, and i drive to them no need to pay for shipping

I've been to both FLP and Speed. Both have been great to me. I'd recommend them both to anyone.
FLP hands down for transmissions though.
