1971 Big Block-rear differential-

Hello ,
This is my first post- I have a 1971 Conv big block. I had the engine rebuilt in Detroit just before we moved to Arizona in June 2004. I went a little (ex drag racer at Detroit Dragway, the Warlock) crazy on my street motor. .040 over 454 with an Isky Hyd/Rlr 284/294 573/608 on 110 lobe centers. Holley Rect port Alum heads. At 9.5 to one she is making about 555 hp with 576lbs or torque. So, I am installing a 5 speed because here in Arizona everything is far away.
Ok, now, I want to have the rear diff checked out and "tuned up" . I want to run the 3.70 gear that is in there now, and I believe it is the original. Could anyone recommend a good honest Rear Differential shop that I could send this to in Arizona?
Thanks a lot,

Am still looking for a rear diff shop anywhere in the greater Phoenix area. Thanks again.
