Default Performance shops in southern jersey

Hey guys, are there any recommended performance shops around the south-central jersey area? I found one, in PA, who was recommended, however they are not very cooperative with me and what I want. Please send any recommendations my way!
Thanks

Not exactly south Jersey of course but Cartek Performance Engineering is located more in the central Jersey area and they've helped get both of my cars (as well as MANY others) running very well.

Did you work for a company in the Paulsboro area?
We worked together, I was,(still) in sales. I have the 2001 Pewter S.S 6speed.
I had Fran and the guys at RPM install ARH 1 7/8" headers, tune and poly mounts back in January.
