Rear Gears
I would suggest Rick Kim (http://rkt56.com) or RPM.
Rick did some work for me last year. Great work and fast turn around.

If this any help my tuning shop quoted me like $1350 for the gears, install kit, and install minus tax but I'm going to just save up for a whole new diff with the hardened output shafts and higher gears

In February I had Rick Kim of RKT56 build me a diff with 3.90 gears. I highly recommend his work! Our diffs are not something you want to try your self if you're not building them all the time. It's not just a gear swap. It is going to take someone who knows what they are doing to get it right. I know in comparison buying the gears is less expensive but in the long run it's better to have someone build the diff who knows what they are doing.
When I put the diff in that Rick built for me I also did a cam swap and a little head work. I can't tell you how much more fun the car is to drive now.
Good luck on your decision and if I were you I'd call Rick and discuss what you'd like to do. He's an A+ guy and a whiz on our diffs.
