I used to be a member of CFC, but left for good reason.

What I don't understand about DA was how they managed to get to be an authorized Shelby parts(?) dealer;
My boss's father-in-law had his '05ish Shelby Mustang get the Super Snake package (wasn't all the stuff, but it has the hood and engine changes if I understood correctly) - and he is happy with it.

The guy in strathmore (name eludes me atm) used to manage the machine shop, but went out on his own.
He does fantastic work;
My only concern is that he likes tighter than factory bearing clearances on the crankshaft - it took my cousin's TA way more miles than expected to break in...

I am glad that you have dealt with both DA and Carmine, so that you have an idea as to what you might expect...
There's also a guy north of Red Deer... I'd have to dig his card out though, it's been a LONG time since I've seen him - but body wise he does fantastic work ~ and he too is a Pontiac nut...
