Default shop recommendations in hawaii?

like the title says im in need of a shop in Hawaii, pretty much for tuning as ill do the mechanical work myself. army is stationing me there and i was looking at going the single turbo route with my 03 z, nothing crazy just single turbo at 7 or 8 lbs boost for now =P well with supporting mods. sorry if its on here somewhere i looked but couldnt find anything for Hawaii specifically

Yeah, turnaround time for a car to get here is about a month. That time will go by quickly though. When are you expected to get here? Just curious.

supposed to arrive about 10pm local tonight, atm im sitting in atlanta waiting for my flight to lax in three hours. i might have to hang out around the shops a little bit while waiting for my car to get there since the wife isnt coming yet eaither, she has already been giving me evil eyes over the car. i should try and hide my obsessions more lol.

No kidding? I wasn't aware that Munky had a dyno.........OP I'd say in that case either shop is fine.

Depends on what you're looking for OP. Sonics does UTEC, Munky Wurks does OSIRIS. And yes, Munky Wurks has a dynapack

i was thinking of going with the utec too. but when i did a search and chatted with other forum users they really didnt have anything great to say about the utec. The uprev tuner sounds awesome, but crazy hard to tune myself.
