Default Differential Shops??? 3.91 Final Drive install??

I purchased the 3.91 Final drive for my car. I was wondering if anyone knew any RELIABLE shops that can do the install for me? I am trying to get this done asap. I'm looking for somewhere in the NOVA area.
Thanks

I called them and they don't do it... I found once place that says they will do it. Hi-Tech Transmissions. Anyone heard of them or know if they are good? 703-849-8222

I know of a small shop near Dulles that would be able to do it. They installed my ATS carbon LSD with zero problems. PM me to get his info as he just opened up the new shop and I don't know what he has named it..

350Z Short 3.917 Final Drive Ring and Pinion
[350evoFD] $849.95


A short 350Z final drive ring and pinion drastically improves acceleration out of corners and down the strip. A short final drive ring and pinion thus is a great addition to any 350Z that needs an edge in acceleration. This 350Z short final drive ring and pinion is about a 10% reduction over the 350Z OEM final drive (the OEM 350Z ratio is 3.538). Without costly engine modifications, you can get the acceleration that equals much more powerfull cars. Best of all, you don't put any additional stress on your 350Z engine or drive train.

i've never heard of someone putting it on the 5AT (usually the slushbox folks just go with discarded 6MT R&P's)

if you've got a 6MT, it fits like a glove

Anybody know of a good shop out near Frederick that will install the 3.917 FD? I don't mind making the drive longer if I know it'll be worth it. I thought I read AAM doesn't do this install? Thanks everyone!
