Hey guys,

Just letting everyone know that my good friend is looking to do some performance work on the side. He used to be a full time mechanic for 7 years with 6 ASE certifications. He now has a new full time career but still enjoys working on cars. He has done all the work to my car, ie- Full exhaust, turbo kit, gears, differential, brakes, 6 spd transmission, clutch, shifter, gauges, 2-step etc. The shop is located in Gloucester City south Jersey only minutes away from Philadelphia, Cherry Hill and the surrounding area. He charges $60 an hour for most jobs however some larger jobs (ie-turbo kit) will be a flat rate. Will have a link posted soon with examples of his work.

Please PM me with any questions.

That's something I've planned on doing. Haven't had the chance to do it. Thanks for the suggestion. We have plenty of pictures to share.

Thanks for the kind words bossman! Can't wait to see the new 5.0! I went ahead and updated my original post to include introductory rate, shop location, background info, etc. I've post some pictures of his work below- Including my turbo install. Please don't hesitate to contact us on this thread or PM any questions (IE-his cell number).

Do you guys tune and or have a dyno

No, we do not do tuning. I personal had my turbo 3v tuned by Lito (the forum tuning god, lol). I would recommend him, or we can point you in the right direction for some local tuners as well. :highfive:

This Saturday, we will be installing a Borla exhaust on a c6 Corvette, stand by for pictures and videos!
