Im going to be installing a vortech kit mid July and am looking for a dyno shop in the Fremont/Hayward or surrounding area that can tune the SS box that comes with the kit for safe reliable power. Its my understanding that the stock vortech runs on the rich side. Has anyone had any experience with GST motorsports in Hayward?

 

coming from the subaru world, MANY people love GST motorsports. great tuners, great people working there, and havent heard of any problems really there! but thats all from my subaru knowledge. i dont know anything about the Z tuning world yet

 

mine was tuned by full function

 

Speed Element maybe??

 

go to Zcargarage in san jose

 

+1 on the running rich...

 

So basically I just need to trackdown a tuner with the R4 software to tune the SSbox?

 

I tuned mine at ZCG

 

with just an exhaust and plenum spacer how much power do you think ZCG can tune a vortech to on a non rev-up

 

Don't people usually remove plenum spacers before going FI?

 

ZCG mild tuned my 03 with 7# boost on the Vortech to 350 rwhp from 226 rwhp.

 

Id be very happy with 350whp ill make arrangements with ZCG next month when the kit is on.

 

Z Car Garage

hands down is the place to go. I think rob likes my car more than I do. the guy hasnt let me down yet. really takes care of the cars. when I went there he found nails in my back tires and removed them, didnt even put it on the bill. had one of the techs even wash my car. surprisingly it was even a good wash didnt miss any spots or anything. He really is into nissan's and takes good care of you when you come to him. plus the turn around on a full kit was 2 days.

as far as power goes...

I came in with 250hp and 243ftlb's left with 377 and 316. on a conservative tune. I dont think he would push it too lean on a stock block. the only other parts I have are 2.5 in tp's and a borla true dual.

 

well it settled, im taking my car to ZCG after i install the kit. Thanks for the responses!

 

Nope.

the more air the car can get without having to work as hard the better. Thats what FI is all about! The spacer helps get more air to the front cylinders since the incline of the stock plenum is angled and pinches off air.
