And thats why your local shops dont stay in business or have high prices making us local guys buy from internet and hoping its the right part.

Since the forum and it's use is a result of advertising dollars - forum vendors should get the first nod when it comes to recommendations.

However, some of the vendors/tuners will sell you anything they can or commit to work and do a half-*** job...

Small / local shops can be better.

Cartek Racing (www.cartek.net) is another possible option as well, roughly an hour and fifteen minutes outside of Philly.
