I had my tranny in my Vette built there and great guys and a nice shop. Takes his time to do it right. I had a stall and gears done at the same time. Now is the time to put in a converter..Tell them Matt with the Yellow C5 Vette said hi. I've been beating it hard. Any questions drop me a line.

Speed Shack ("Shaft") in Norwood, Forte's in Burlington. There's a new Hot rod shop in west roxbury on belgrade ave. There's a ricer shop at the corner of Huntington and S. Huntington in Boston. And Belmonts (I think that's what it's called.) hot rod shop on Grove st in Hyde Park.

That said, the sponsors will give you some great deals on parts. For tuning see Don at Dez Racing.
