IMO if you pick a place that knows nothing about ANYTHING Mopar then you picked the wrong place. I have NEVER used a "Mopar" shop and I think the results speak for themselves. Don't understand why some insist the only place that can build a Mopar is a "Mopar" shop.

The OP lives close to one of the BEST shops in the country. They have fast Pontiacs, Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Chevys, Fords and yes Mopars. In fact the fastest FSS car in the world was built there. A good shop is a good shop. Not to say places like Best, Barton, Marsh, Hensley, Kammer and Kammer, FBO, etc are not very good at what they do, and if I was close to one I would consider using them. But just using your local "mopar" guy may not get you the BEST results in your area. I used a Winston West builder when I was in NorCal for machine work, passing over the local "mopar guru" and was not disappointed one bit
