Need some help with with shops in the dallas area. - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Basically, who is it the best shop in Dallas? I know there are millions of threads from who knows where asking this question, but I want current update information.

I have an 03 mach 1 with a vortex supercharger. She's falling to pieces. On my 3rd MAF. All of them suddenly revert to wide open and think I'm at 30,000 feet able level. Sometimes a trip around the block after and sometimes 3 weeks later. Someone around here will fix it, then 2 week later, BAM same thing.

The just don't know what they are doing around here. I also need my tranny replaced as the 3rd and 4th gear synchro is out.

Now in addition to all this, here comes the fun part. I want to have an 850+HP daily driver with absolutely no NOS.

I need a company with experience with 4v modular motors that can both do all this and guide me through it without seeing an opportunity and ripping me a new *******. I need a good company I can trust with fair prices and good opinions. Someone that doesn't mind actually giving advice. This is going to be a multistage process starting with the MAF issue and moving next to the tranny then on to all the fun stuff.

Any Ideas?

GearHeads in Arlington or True Street in Mc Kinney. Either should be able to help you.

I would stay away from GearHeads, I only hear bad things about them and have seen trouble with them in the past. True Street is who everyone always recommends to me and say they are great.

HPP, ask for Manny. He's in Lewisville, TX.

Thanks for the help. I've heard of HPP before so I know they have been around for awhile. Gearheads and True Street are new to me.

Stay away from HPP.

Gearheads is decent.

I like my garage. I know what happens in there.
