Central NJ area performance shops

yo
any one know of any good shops in central NJ that do good reliable work?like installs, engine work and tuning. any shops to stay away from also would help? heard of Elite auto in Hamilton and there's a shop in Edison and a shop in spotswood not sure if any of there's are any good. any help would be great.

Ok, as for the shop in Spotswood Nj. that's called MRCPerformance and after hearing about a speedforce racing kit that was installed by them that detonated the car and blew up the engine, that's the last shop I'd recommend. They also only specialize in Z's and g35's. So ever since that they've sworn not to even touch an 8. Also says alot for the speedforce racing kit. As for edison I'm not too sure what shop your talking about,however rumor has it there is a pro shop down in lawrence harbor that specializes in exotics. A friend of mine had an Sc300 swapped in with the 2JZGTE setup and the car performs beautifully. That's my 2 cents.

JPR and KD (kim and dave) shops are my choice.
kdr use to work on my rx7 and they are very well respected in the rotary community.
