I am building a trans for a fellow forum member in Jersey(jd v3tt3) and he is also looking for a shop to set up his gears as well. They are not terribly difficult to do, I am suprised that someone will not step up and take care of it.
Here is a bump for you guys

maybe not that dramatic but when you mash the gas in first or second it lunges forward like an angry bull seeing red.I LIKE IT.sixth gear is actually usable.
this is nothing new to the guys who have already done it.however until you feel it you don't really know what you are missing!
for anyone close to raleigh/durham nc the guy who did the install is skip at excel auto.his number is 919-956-8947 or 1-888-262-2122.he has a nice clean shop and is very lt1-ls1 knowledgeable.he is professional and a pleasure to talk to.
he charged my $475 labor to remove/setup gears/reinstall the differential with me supplying the parts.
