I believe Cantrell Motorsports built Cersoft's G in Kirkland, WA. They do a lot of Porsche's.

Also I've heard good things about RRev in Portland:

i don't think you'll have much luck getting cantrell to sponsor you, they deal with mostly high end cars. a Z isn't really high end, especially now that you can pick up an early model for pennies over 10k


and remember, you get what you pay for

+1000 Worldone did a great job on SlowZsters car, Also Cantrell now works on my Audi.. They do great work I recommend them over the "other" so called motorsports shops around here.

Intec has done a few VQ motors, and turbo kits. They build some good stuff there.

Because GTM charges up the @$$ and IMO its better to get things like this done locally incase something goes wrong and they need to fix it.

My motor was built by builtZmotors in NM but Colin and Brandon at Cantrell did the whole install, after $14k and about 2 years I have still yet to take it back with any issues, they are great guys and the only shop that I trust with my car.

Reminds me, I need an oil change ...

aye, worldone built and tuned my twin turbo kit, and i'm yet to have any real issues with it. I do leak a little bit of oil from the oil feed lines for my turbo's, but from what I read that is pretty normal. Only bad part is that you have to pull the motor to fix that .

Did they actually build the bottom end? I thought it was basically just a TT install + supporting modifications?
