SGP sucks.. period.. I build a car for a guy from Houston a few years ago.. He took it to SGP to have a fuel pressure regulator and a few other very miniscule things installed.. SGP took a ton of pics, and claimed that they had "built the car". I called them out on it, and they removed it from thier site. Lame..

Remember when I first got the car back from SGP with the 2nd built motor and I posted that it started running rich in hotter climate? Well you were right that the correction tables were fuked up which is why my tune got fuked as soon as I entered FL. I was defending Mark's tune, but you were right, it sucked!

At first I wanted Mark to refund me some money for having to pay someone else to fix my car, but he offered the plenum and I said ok. If he would have done it right from the get go I wouldn't have had to pay someone else to fix it.

I dont think anyone is jumping to conclusions, but there has been ample time, for someone from SGP to respond. I totally agree with you, there's deffinately two sides to every story.

and here come the SGP nutthuggers
.
That really sucks to hear all of these negative transactions. I was really looking forward to getting my car tuned there and eventually getting all my FI work done there. I knew it was to good to be true that a shop that notable would be so convinient for me

Guys I am sure Mark and SGP have put out some really great numbers on numerous cars and have done great work.. But a shop that is overworked is going to have problems as you must get the cars out ASAP and $hit gets overlooked.. Hopefully they can chime in and do some explaining.. If not, there are PLENTY of other shops to take your ride to get tuned, built etc etc..
