Default Tuners in Houston

I was thinking of putting a Greddy e-manage in my car to balance out my mods. Wher would be the best place to have my car tuned in houston. I've heard good things about SGP, but how can you tune without a dyno. I am new to tuning, but I know alot about bolt ons and how they work, can anyone help me.

They told me they use a dyno, just not theirs. Speak to Kyle for details. Furthermore, they are getting a dyno end-of-year (they said).

I'm planning to do similar as you, to balance out my mods and tune my FI as well. I've actually sent them a generic email, asking for advice on what tuning will they do, since they're doing my install. No response yet, but when I get it, I'll post it here.

Cheers.

I like to hear they use someone elses dyno. I went there the other day and they said tuning was 70 bucks an hour and takes about two hours, sounded pretty good to me, thanks for your input.

SGP Racing is the way to go I had exhaust and intake put on there and the job quality was superior! And they re-flashed my ECU for me for free. I definitely recommend them.

I didn't think SGP did ECU reflashes, they said they send them off to technosquare.

seems as though you've already made the decision to use SGP, but I'm throwing in another vote for them... they've done lots for my 350Z and I've always been very happy with their pricing and service

Not yet, I'm putting the headers on tommorrow and maybe I'll have it dynoed. I will definately dyno it after I get some hi flow cats, which will be in a few months.

Apex... I have not been to the dyno with all the current mods... since my last dyno, I've added the new version of the Crawford plenum and the Borla True Dual... my last dyno I had 246 hp and 233.6 torque... didn't really gain much with all those mods, just a lighter wallet

I had SGP put my Nismo exhaust and pop charger on the other day. So far I would reccomend them.
