There are a few shops in that three hour radius from your area. Without knowing your exact address I typed in directions from "Williamsport PA" to Rapid Motorsports and Race Proven Motorsports.

Rapid:

Race Proven:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...on&ie=UTF8&z=8

Those would be my two suggestions. Plenty of feedback for both of them in numerous threads.

I'm from Williamsport and I go to Rapid for my tuning A+.
I've always like cruising those roads in your home town.

I was born and raised in State College (move from there about 2 years ago). Most of my friends back there still run LS1 F-bodys. I wanted to start a club, but never got around to it.

UMI Performance is right down the road outside of Clearfield.
