Default Gear swap. What local shops can do it?

Ok. i have been thinking about getting some 4.10's for my mustang, ive been doing some research and decided thats what i want. does anyone know any shops that could install the gears for me. i hear they are a pain in the ass to install and professional installation is highly recommended. so, does anyone know where i should get these done or any suggestions? thanks guys

I paid $150 for my 4.10 installation. Done by Rick on Tidewater Racing, he's done a lot of work for not only me, but quite a few other people, and I would take my car to him any day of the week before a shop.

DTP doesn't do gears anymore because Sean over at MAS just bought a new tool to set the gears up.

There are no shops around NN area, you're going to have to go to the otherside of the water.
