Looking for a speed shop in the tri-area.

I'm looking for a shop that can fabricate, dyno, modify and service a Mustang without raping it's owner. Most places by me are just part assemblers and spend more time trying to talk me out of my project then they spend working on it. And when they do do the work, I have to get it redone a couple of months later.
Thanks for the info. I spent alot of effort inn dealing with the shops in NYC. After going through considerable effort in researching then compiling all the suspension components for my GT, I still had to argue, negotiate and demand that the parts will fit, work and fuction correctly. I am of the opinion that most shops in NYC only want to do stock tune-ups on late model cars. And even when I managed to find someone willing to take on the job, they would only install bolt-on parts and without notice stuff the weld-on parts in the trunk.
I don't know if it's a form of "Mustang discrimination" or if the mechanics here don't know or how to work on Mustangs. Or if they just don't want to make money. Eitherway, I'm ready to move on to phase two of my project and I DO NOT want to have my motor torn apart and have to deal with the crap I delt with with phase 1. Several times I had to have the work redone to correct simple rookie mistakes. What I'm looking to have done is basically a Roush Stage 3 setup on my Mustang GT. So far this project has been easier said then done.

I'll play Devil's Advocate. You are saying what you want installed and how to install it? It's like going to the doctor and telling him how to treat your ailment. You go to a shop with experience that knows what works and what doesn't based on what you are trying to accomplish. Mustang Magic, Realspeed and Hellbent racing are those type of shops. That's it on Long Island.
Good Luck with your project.
