regarding mark not screwing people with GTRs, that is the biggest ******** of all time. I dropped off my infiniti fx35 there july of 08. I SUPPLIED all parts (built short block, cams, return fuel sys, transgo, tc, all gauges, vortech, walbro) THEN paid mark to install (ported heads, aquamist, tune, Pro-EFI, and all labor associated). I PAID IN CASH about 16k. MY car was there for 9 freaking months. He never ordered the ProEFI and stuck me with a utec because someone "stole" it (long story). Then we decided to go with a haltech which he also never ordered so now im basically buying TWO haltechs (one from SGP and now one from Jtran/studio). Stock parts like glove box and other panels are still at SGP. I don't even want to step foot in there due to my poor anger management issues. By the way, I also have a black GTR! Trust me, people of all cars get ****ed by him.
PS disregard my spelling/grammar. Im still pissed off.

All mark did with your car was just re-flash it with something like a Cobb Access port. Redid your down pipe, exhaust, and midpipe to a 4.5 inch ones. NOTHING ELSE WAS DONE!! If he said he "Built your transmission," try turning off launch control from a stop and hit the gas. If your 700hp something Godzilla doesn't snap first gear like the ones that are snapping theirs while they are still stock then good for you. I did not join the bandwagon earlier because i gave mark the benefit of the doubt but wished i would have listed earlier FWIW.

I reserve judgment on your results.
However, it still does not change my opinion on Mark and the way that he has run SGP in the last year. I will be the first to admit that I was a supporter of Mark and SGP. However, I can not ignore the facts and considering I went through an ordeal myself, one satisfied customer does not make up for all the other things that has happened.
Again, I challenge you to out right call all of us "Mark/SGP detractors", liars, regarding our claims against Mark.

Zmego1985, did you pay Mark up front? or after work was complete?

Gentlemen I am finally home from a horrible rainy trip from Texas. I will be scanning the dynoes in the next few hours. As for when it was shipped in it was in the middle of october. So I was wrong it was 7 months guys, but I am happy it was that long for reliability. All dynoes are different whether they are a load based dyno or free rolling. Pictures will also be up soon.

Thank god for this thread, I am stuck in Iraq and had no idea SGP went down the drain. I was on their webpage and thought they were fine, I was gonna order their wastegate dumps but the site seemed F'd up, like a dead link. Apparently its not after reading this. Thanks to all that post the way some crooked shops operate, I feel for those who got robbed in this situation, I wish all of you the best of luck.

Mark has another website called Gust Engineering
I looked it up and found this:
http://whois.domaintools.com/gustengineering.com
The really funny thing is click on the Reverse IP where it says 2 other sites are hosted on the server.
BLAM
There are 3 domains hosted on this IP address.
www.boosteddomestics.com
www.boostedimports.com
www.gustengineering.com
Boosted imports look familiar? That is Robert K's website. It is even under his name on My350z. So Robert K is hosting Marks new website and probably even doing the web design. LOL
So yeah Robert K is swinging from Mark's nuts more then we thought.

boosted imports and boosteddomestics are not related to sgp as far as I know. Robert K is a member on the site. bimp is a pretty good site for all types of rides.

I am not the owner of those sites but just a member. As I am a member here and various other car fourm related sites. So I guess I own all those as well?

I wonder how true those numbers are from mark. Do you think he spentthe 5k buy in for the cobb access port for the gtr? If I were you I would redyno the car some place else to see if those are real numbers. My tuner Japtrix has built the second fastest (soon to be first) gtr out there 10.7@132 mph trap. With the numbers you stating I hope you can at least match this. The fastest does the 1/4 in 10.4. Mark probably did nothing but take your money and gave you a stock car back.
