Default Best APS Tuning Shop in North America

Hey, ive tried the search feature and i would get up to 30-40 pages of results and did not feel like browsing thru all of them, i had the aps tt installed on my 03 Z and they only tuned it to the best of the shops abilities. I am wondering where in North America would you recomend to get this tuned as a bunch of us from my town take road trips to get all of our cars done at different places thru-out, which ever place is the best for them. Anyways, thanks guys.

Tuan at GRD in Naperville, IL is the best at tuning these kits. People travel religously to him just to get their APS kits tuned. His own personal Z has been at 500whp on the stock block for a long time now and he doesn't exactly baby it...

Never really tuned? That's scary. I know it's a long way, but you can't go wrong with Forged Performance. I drove 800+ miles to get my car there, and would do it again in a heartbeart.

That is your out of the box whp? That seems high to me. I think mine was 380whp out of the box... then tuned to 420.

Also, you should really consider a tune.

Yeah it is scary, i dont drive it, its parked for the winter. But it definitly isnt done to potential, and im willing to take the long drive, altho it would be 2000+ miles, but oh well. I definitly need it tuned...nothing in Vancouver or anything...Rancho Cucamonga would be the closest.

Thanks

If your close to IL go to GRD. Tuan is really good with the unichip.If your closer to upstate NY then come to us, were in Central NJ about 45 mins from NYC. We have installed and tuned several dozens of APS TT kits.

If you're looking for someone in the vancouver area, look into Street Demon Motorsports. Their first APS TT install was mine. And they tuned it well. The owner's name is Claude. They're located in Nanaimo.

GQ: My tune is taking approx. 2 weeks. 1 weeks of miscellaneous installations, and another week for tuning. But of course I have the Fcon Vpro standalone and 4 maps to set.
