Sorry to be so direct, but this like a contradiction. In my experience, dealerships are the least qualified performance specialists and most expensive maintenance shops. Of course there must be exceptions.

Dealership Senior Tech's are not always the "ubermensch" you'd expect. The last one mentioned on this board actually blew up(broken piston rod)one of the board members 840 engines by overfilling the case with oil in a routine oil service.

By the way, dealerships generally are the same or more expensive than Korman or Dinan. I'd suggest taking performance modification cues from Korman and Dinan or another well established tuner who has thoroughly engineered its modifications, and then finding someone else to execute them or even source comparable parts if you are sensitive to cost.

Good luck!
