Reply to "Switching from carbs to fuel injection"

So finally everything has been installed and the car was dyno-tuned last Tuesday.  If you recall, I opted to install the Holley Sniper2 EFI.  While I was at it, I installed a new aluminum radiator (Fluidyne), new fans, and everything new with the Wilwood brakes.  But I digress.  So the first pull on the dyno, with no tuning, produced 227 hp at the wheel and 261 at the engine (this number was computer calculated). 7.5 hours later, with over a dozen dyno pulls and making adjustments between each pull in the form of programing the Sniper2 and fine-tuning the air/fuel ratio, the ignition timing advance, etc., and the final result was 326 hp at the wheel and 385 hp at the engine, with 404 ft lbs of torque.  The maximum torque curve is really wide, from 3,200 rpm to 5,200 rpm, so passing at highway speed is incredibly easy.  Jumping from 80 mph to 125 mph was mind-bending quick.  And off the line, it throws your head back as if a Mike Tyson punch landed on your forehead.  I can't even imagine what some of you folks with over 500 hp and torque experience in your cars when you punch it.  It must be an insane experience.  All in all, I am extremely happy with the end result.

Now, does anyone know of a REPUTABLE transmission shop close to PA that could service my ZF transmission?  I have the tinniest gear oil leak and it is just bugging me out.
