pulley installation

So I've done a bit of research and I'm pretty much decided on the new Alta V2 15% pulley for my '03 MCS.

Now I've been looking around here for some local shops to do the work! I think I've narrowed it down to either www.heritagegarage.com or www.bmsracecars.com There is another option of www.mincompracing.com
The first two want $300 for the installation while the third wants $325. I don't mind spending the extra money if they are worth it. I'm just curious if any of you have been there, had work done, or any experience with these shops. Any information would be MUCH appreciated

Thanks,
Mike

I found a guy out in Corona area that a buddy of mine knows. He was the master technician guy (or whatever his title was) for Nissan for like 20 years. He now runs/ owns his own shop. I haven't had it installed yet because I just bought a 42" HDTV, so that set me back about 1700 dollars I'll probably order it by the end of the month(good ol' commission checks). I showed him the DIY thats in the drivetrain for cooper s section and he said it would be a breeze, but its still going to be around 300 for the install. If any of you want his name and number, let me know and I'll get it for you

You can't pass up the HDTV! So the $300 is about the same as the other shops right? I'm still hoping to find a shop in the San Diego area, so I'll hold off on the number, but thank you.

Keep us posted!
