Default Thumbs up to Scott Performance in Santa Clara

just wanted to let everyone know that i had a great experience dealing with the guys over at Scott Performance in Santa Clara. I went to have some dc headers and kinetix hi-flo cats put on, and also to have a 3.5 pumpkin installed (i have a 5at with 3.3). i met Ted over there, and he was very knowledgable. he answered all of my questions, and gave me a set price on installing the headers (very low) and even thought the header and cat install took nearly twice as long as he estimated, he still stuck with his original price. they close at 6, and he even stayed till 8 himself to make sure it got done, and make sure it got done right. just wanted to let anyone who might be looking for a tuning shop to know that they definately know their stuff, and they're awesome to deal with!

Are you going to get a unichip??? If so then Ted will definitely hook you up... He tunned it in no time and the unichip itself is freaking awsome

holy sh*t...you got 283.2 rwhp with those mods and the unichip? I had a pre-tuned unichip on my honda before and i wasn't satisfy with the results...but looks like the custom-tuned one on a Z does wonders!

Ted ran it on the dyno and 283.2 were the results!!! We were both pretty pumped up... That guy knows everything there is to know about tunning the ZZZZ

He's very good alright, but I'm sure their are things he has yet to learn.

Do you have the rev-up motor?

I believe that 283 is flywheel hp. Ted has a conversion on his dyno to compute corrected to flywheel. I believe that is what he is taking about. That would then be as advertized by Nissan

In your last sentence you said "they definitely know their stuff", but earlier you said he under-quoted the time it took to install headers and cats by half. You do see the contradiction, right?

between Rob and Ted, it's either you like them or don't. If you like them, you will come to their shop. There is no between.

Talking

hey- unexpected things happen all the time, dont they? not every install goes by the book, does it? its just good to know that when things happen, i dont have to bend over and take it. you could be the most knowledgable person there is when it comes to z's, but that doesnt mean that something new or unexpected won't come up. knowlegde of the z isnt going to get a header bolt off that doesnt want to come off
