Not sure how far you are from Maryland, but there is a place I hear about a lot called "Horsepower By Hermann", and they specialize in Mustangs. Their web site is http://www.hbh.org/
This is where I plan on going when I get my blower installed.

DynoTuned Performance in Chesapeake can probably hook you up too. If Frank doesn't do the porting in house, he can definitely hook you up with somebody that'll do a good job. Those guys did the blower, I/C, tranny/clutch, brakes and header install on my old lady..

DAmach, our heads are the best of the best....the Fr500 heads are $$$$$, and if you port/polish the heads we have now they preform almost exactly like the FR500's for 1/2 the cost......so just P/P them, and if you got 1200 around, DON'T get the FR500 cams, they are great cams, but the Ford GT cams will give you some lope and much much better mid and low end gains, with a P/P with GT cams i'd give you 30-40rwhp gain, and if you've got CAI/RAI and Full exhaust i can see a 60rwhp gain maybe more, and if you swap to the 01 intake (far better than ours) you torque will fall, but you'l gain about 10rwhp
