Finally, I'm ready to do my 430's. Now.... Where am I to go?

I live in the central valley but commute to the east bay. So, a decent shop in either area would be great!

Thank!

I would recommend you try out the Rear End specialists in Santa Clara that's if your willing to drive down here.

Hell, if you are coming to Santa Clara, get 'em done at the Ranch. I had all my work done there.

Another vote for Rear End specialties. Got the gears installed on my last stang there and once I get some $$$ for the installation, ill be going back.

I noticed you're frrom Manteca. Gearworks in Oakdale does good work and is closer to you than other shops mentioned so far.

I had mine done at rearend specialties in Santa Clara as well, very nice work.

Just a reminder however. If the gears are new you will need a breakin period. I would suggest finding the very closest possible shop to where you live. I live in the east bay and it took me about 40 minutes to get down to santa clara. It took me about 3 1/2 hours to get home following the directions the shop gave me for breaking in the gears

430's!!!!!! I dont really like my 410's becuase i can only go about 110 before my trany starts to burn. Hope you dont do any freeway driving, or if you do, i hope some slow rice that you can smoke doesnt beat you becuase you couldnt go as fast as him.

4.30's are actually a good gear choice for the 4.6 DOHC motor. Got alot more RPM to work with than a regular GT (approx 7000 vs 6000), so the taller gear isnt as bad as it sounds. Alot of the 4.6 guys here have 4.30's, and i havent heard too much complaining about them
