Default need recommended installer for gears/diff work in KC

Hey folks. Planning on getting a diff repair kit (whining diff bearings) plus 3.91 gears from gforce next month on my 06 GTO. I'm on the fence as to whether I want to make the drive out to their Wichita location and get it installed there or find an installer in KC. Does anyone in the KC area have recommendations for local shops to install gears+repair parts, who has done a good quality job? Thanks.

Midwest transmission in raytown. Highly recommend them, they are very reputable and are racers themselves.

I had mine done by Edgar's transmission in KCK, haven't had any issues, they built my trans first, then installed a 12-bolt. Even was willing to help me move the vent tube when I was installing my Watts link. Tim (owner) is a pretty cool guy and is into rebuilding muscle cars.
