Default Gear Shop in Delaware

This is my first post and I wondering if anyone out there knewof a reputable shop in the Delaware, Southeastern, PA. or southern New Jersey that does ring and pinion work. I am looking into switching out my 3:31's to 3:73's in my '06 GT auto.

Where at in DE are you? Im not too familiar with S197 rears, they still are 8.8s right? If so, buy the FRPP gear set and a installation kit. I just did mine at work last weekend. (Carman Ford) I kno the guys over at ACA performance off Old Baltimore Pike and they will most likely be able to take care of ya. Hell I'd do it for cheap but right now I cant take any outside projects into work...some guys f `d it up Wednesday night for everybody

Yes they are the same 8.8 Just looking for some more seat of the pants feel. So you work at Carman? I live in Smyrna and work in Wilmington. Would you recommend ACA? Man I don't want any problems, just a gear change with no issues.

Gears are what your lookin for man. I went from 2.73 to 3.73 and wow big jump. When you buy the gears get Ford Racing ones, and then some new bearings and seals....also 3 quarts of 75-140... Should be set. If you re-use all the shims the spec should be good. Like I said I would do it for cheap but I cant bring it into work right now and use the tools...Call ACA and ask em, or I hear there is a small Evolution Performance shop in Middletown. If you got any other questions lemme kno.

no kidding. There's a girl that drives the same exact car as well! I really need to customize it. kinda funny how many mustangs run in a town with a mpoar/dodge plant (of course that won't be the situation for much longer).
