Hey everyone, I've got a powerlab Z with a tanabe hyper medallion exhaust. I am buying a more free flowing exhaust and am looking for a tuner who can re-tune my car. The car has a very good/safe tune on it now, and i dont want the car to run like crap b/c of a new tune. my question is, have people had good experience with japtrix??? Ive done some research but havent found much. If not japtrix is there anyone in orlando area who does good work? (excluding PF because they have moved/moving)? thanks everyone!!!!

 

Japtrix is in riviera beach, fl - near west palm. I have taken my car there
for 3 years +. Roger and Co. charge very reasonable prices for great work.

 

oh i had no idea it was that far south, anything in orlando or nearby orlando????

 

Sometimes driving a little further is well worth it in order to get your car tuned by a respectable tuner. Roger(the shorter one) @ Japtrix is a very good tuner.

There is also a guy named Martin or Mark(can't quite remember) at a shop called www.feverracing.com in Tampa that I heard is also a very good tuner for the Z/G

 

I can't answer for up north by you, but as far as Japtrix is concerned roger or jack will take very good care of you and your car. As coachk said a little drive is worth it for piece of mind. A word of advice be careful with the new exhaust your car will most likely overboost in this weather.

 

thanks. i wont put the exhaust on until i can get a retune.

 

Yeah there is also WWW.SANDRPERFORMANCE.COM they have a tuner names mike who does awesome tunning.....

He made awesome power on my car ... now if only i can get all the other quarks out to drive it ...

 

i was thinking about goin to japtrix if i cant sell my utec for the install/tune..but i hear alot of mixed reviews about them

 

Go see CFT (Central Florida Turbo) in Orlando. Rollo is a good tuner and they have a Mustang Dyno. Just don't let them do any mechanical work to the car and you'll be good.

Had my DP's and dumps installed/retuned at Japtrix by Roger, and have nothing but a good experience to report. They took care of me and the car is running great!!

 

The mixed reviews you have seen was a bunch of bullsh*t from some children, the rest was from people that just jump on the bandwagon for the hell of it. It happens hear all the time.

 

Ztouring...I have never heard a bad thing about Roger tuning cars. Even JT says Roger is more than capable of doing good tunes. Ask Island Savage about how happy he is with the tune Roger did on his Z, and that was a Utec.

 

who rents dyno time fro those of us self-tuners?

 

I believe Japtrix does, give them a shout

 

thanks guys!!! anymore input would be great!!

 

Central FloridaTurbo... $75 per hour.

 

btw.. whats wrong with titan?

 

I'd rather tune on a load based dyno like the Mustang than the Dynojet like Titan has.

 

Japtrix has been tuning my car, and they do a great job. Remember, though, that it takes time to get a good tune dialed in. If you go in wanting to pay only for an hour of tuning time, it will be adequate to get you on the road, but it may not be as smooth as you want it. For my car, Rodger and Jack worked on the dyno to get a good base tune, then Rodger drove around with me with his laptop plugged into the F-Con to fine tune it even more for everyday driving conditions.

 

Thanx Coach K....if i am unable to sell my utec i will indeed use it and go to japtrix
