Shop Recommendation

[ramrod]

I am considering changing to a 3.54 gear in my 93 Automatic in order to gain a little more low end accelaration.

I'm looking for a recommendation of a top quality shop in my area that I can trust to do the job right.

I live in the Tidewater area of VA. ( Hampton, Va. Beach, Newport News, Williamsburg, etc. ) ...does anyone have any suggestions regarding a good shop ?

Thanks.

Too Bad I'm not in your area... LoL.. finding a good shop can be a pain.. I just upgraded from the 2.59 gear set to a 3.07 that I got a nice deal on..

although it is a little over 2 hours North of you... Cooper Corvettes > http://www.coopercorvettes.com/ located right off I95 at exit 150 (head towards Quantico Marine Base, Make a Left on US RT1 and go 3 blocks North - Coopers is on the Right side)
Service manager Tom McGrath will take care of all your Corvette needs.
Keep it in mind as an option

Do you know if they are experienced at Gear changes ?

Re: recommendation

Yes, they are experienced w/ gear changes.
Either the ring & pinion or the whole carrier they can do either.
Ask for Tom McGrath personally as he is the head fella there.
Funny thing - I came across Tom back in 1991, when my old roomate had his carrier swapped w/ a Dana 44.
Hope this helps -Chris

Ramrod,
I was thinking of doing the same thing on my 95. Does changing from the 2.59 to the 3.54 require a carrier change as well?

I don't live too far from Cooper's Corvette and have had work done there. They did a good job.
