Reputable shops w/ personal experience... I'm thinking of switching my gears. Anybody here know any shop can do it w/ reasonable price and tune my car for the gear I'm switching to and well tune the rest of the car? I might go ahead tune the car for to have it run in optimum performance, so if you know someone or somebody's shop let me know. Of course this have to be in Little Rock area.

I got the tune covered, I'm on ASAP also. Just shoot me a pm and I'll answer any questions you have. I am tuning a few others from on here around the area also.
You could check with TNC, I think Jeff does gears, I just don't have time to do the mechanical stuff anymore with the tuning going on.

nice, will you have them in by the race day in march? the place i had my gears done was called dale's auto out in west little rock about a half mile away from the rave theater. they'll guaruntee no whine as long as they supply everything, that's where i fucked up (buying used gears). you'll prob be looking at somewhere around 700 for the complete job (parts, labor, and tax). are you dynoing next weekend?

No dyno for me. I spent my dyno money on my book for a class I'm taking this semester. $125 for a damn book... Yes, I plan on putting the gears before the race day in march. I've got plans to get my 12s. About Dale's auto... Is it speed shop?

it's like a repair shop but they specialize in drag cars and things with big engines, but yea, they do all around speed stuff, internal engine, and i think they build engines out there too.

You sure you only want to go 3:42 on your gear. i sure am happy with 3:89 gear in my a4, running a 26" drag radial. Just don't take it out of overdrive til you have to. I think you would be much more pleased with at least the 3:73's. See ya soon
