Depending on what you want done you may want to check out Backstreet Performance in Medina.

About 3+ years ago they installed 3:42 gears in my A4 '99. They did a great job on this performance mod.

1. Medina - www.backstreetper.com - ask for Rich/Erik
- Mostly LSx series motors

2. Chardon - www.hutterracing.com - ask for Trevor
- Big into serious race prep, LSx series tuning

3. Mentor - http://www.corvette-motorsports.com
- Not sure if specialized area

Have had work done (tunes) at the 1st two; probably gonna have some maint (fluids, etc) done at #3 this spring.

Corvette Consiracy has been around for a long time; previous neighbor of ours had work done there in late 70's/80's
