I'm finally finding the time to sit down and thank Dave and Juan at Function Tuned for their work done on my Z. They installed and tuned my Z with a turbonetics single turbo kit and UTEC system. Also, thanks to Nowell for giving me a nice package deal for his used kit, accessories, and exhaust. To my knowledge, I'm the kit's third owner and it's still running strong. From what I hear, most of that is due to the fact that you guys switched to a twin set-up fairly quickly, feeling the need for even more power after getting a taste of it. It's probably pretty safe to say that it will be on my car for a fair amount of time. I love the torque and power it produces. It's just enough for me... for now.

As a testimate to the tune Dave gave me.... the weekend after it's completion, I won a nice cash prize bracket race at the local drag strip. My car is a 5at, and Dave gave me a very consistant and reliable tune. On a side note, I unexpectedly ran out of gas on the way home that night though However, I got on the phone with Dave and he walked me through a few things to check and I was able to get the gas gauge working properly again and have had no problems since. That's another example of Dave's knowledge and communication with his customers. I even received a call from him a day after I got back to check on the car's performance on the way home and during the next day... which was fantastic.

Anyways, thanks again to Function Tuned. I recommend them to anyone in the area and even those that aren't. I traveled 5 hours each visit and it was well worth it. Their knowledge and professionalism far exceeds any other experiences I've had with shops/tuners. And most importantly, they really went the extra mile to take their time, check everything, and treated my car as if it were their own.

A few pictures:

tight man, welcome to the club!

 

Ask about their oil cooler specials to go along with that TN, Dave will hook u up if u mention my name. Additional 34.14 WHP

 

did you do the 1/4 at the drag strip?

congrats....

 

+1 function tuned pwns!

 

Congrats on the kit/install/tune Function:TUNED is definitely the hot spot in NoVA for our cars. Great work guys

 

Woot Function Tuned!

 

That is my old TN kit, I sold it to Nowell. What were the final dyno numbers and at what boost?

 

Congrats! Glad you're enjoying it! +1 Gold on White FTW!

 

Nice.. yup,, gotta oil cooler next

 

Yeh, he told me it was yours and that you didn't have it real long either before going TT!

I think the final numbers were pretty much the norm for 5at's, maybe Dave or Juan can correct me if I'm wrong... but I think they were around 375hp 365tq at 7lbs? I know that's something important that I should know, but keep in mind that when I was up there having it tuned with UTEC, I treated the trip as a short vacation with a friend and wasn't in the sharpest state of mind as my FRIEND drove it home !!!!

 

Nope... just 1/8 mile strips around here. The closest 1/4 is actually Bristol, but I haven't gone there since the install. I REALLY need some track radials or some new tires on the volks with a camber kit because I had MAJOR traction issues that night. That will definately be my next investment.

 

Damn, I love that car, inspired me to get my Z in PPW. No gold volks yet though.

 

very sweet car.and hell yea bert,s old kit has it,s 3rd owner.

 

Holy ****... 375rwhp at 7lbs? When I finally decide to get FI I'm hoping to push atleast 350hp with a ST. If I could get 375, that would be awesome (I have 5at)

 

I've been looking for a place near my house. Thanks for the recommendation. I will definitely check these knowledgeable guys out
