Default Install Help or Good Shop??

I recently found some really good deals on Steeda Underdrive Pulleys and a GT500 Throttle Body with the Adapter Plate for the GT and was thinking of whether I should try installing them myself or have a shop do it.. I'm not very experienced with this kind of work on my car, but I have heard that these are pretty easy installs, especially the throttle body.. I'm just worried about screwing something up. So does anyone know of a good shop that wouldn't charge me too much, or unless someone who has some experience with this would like to help for maybe a payment of beer lol
EDIT: How about a good mechanic or shop that someone could recommend me? One that you use yourself for all of your installations on your mustang..

i would probably want to do both installs at the same time because american muscle / bama told me that i would need a tune for both and it would just be easier to do the one tune although it wouldn't cost me anymore cuz i already have free tunes for life

i don't see why you need a tune for UDP since it doesn't affect the air or fuel at all.

The GT500 TB is extremely easy to install, you can do that no problem, just be careful around the TPS.
