Default New to the area Need help

Hi, Im new to The state (pa).
And in a few months i will be looking for a realy good speed shop. Were i came from in NY. There was none to be found. Can some one point me in the
right direction. I live in the king of prussia area. I really need a good shop casue my car.. well... lets just say ....
It has kicked my *** for 2 years straight. So now im just going to take my car in and let the pros straighten it out.
For those of u who are still reading this is what i have

1996 LT1 TA M6

383 10.4cr All forged internals 4 bolt main
STS rear mount turbo kit.
GTP STAGE 2 HEADS
HOOKER HEADERS

Basicly I need a shop that can make all the above play well together.
My new motor got about 300 miles on it before i had a rocker arm pop off (poly locks suck.. or mine are defective ) and blow my tb apart...
