Default Looking for best tuners locally

I'm located in South Florida, Broward County to be exact, just wondering about where I can go to get some tuning from a place that knows their stuff and is known to tune the 350z. I'm using the UTEC on the 2003 VQ35 motor. Thanks for the help in finding a place to get dyno tuned. Any 350z specific shops locally I'd be interested in getting ahold of as well. I may be getting other motor work done too. Looking for a Nissan specific shop.

How about a shop that does a really good job and at a good price for some engine work? I'm looking to put in a new set of camshafts?

Any local shops in Broward or Dade County that do reputable work that anybody knows of that I can be referred to ?

I spoke to HP Logic, as soon as I get my Utec in I will be using them for tuning.

For the tuning. I'm going to get cams and valve springs installed and after that I'll get the UTEC and tune and see where I'm at. I just need to find a shop here locally to install them.

that is not going to be a cheap job, you are probably looking at about 1500-2000 to do it if the engine is in and in a Z, if that helps you decide.

That's fine I just want to get it done. I have the VQ35DE from a maxima 2003 in my 2002 SE-R sentra spec v. I'm looking forward to the tuning and cams.

there's not that much room at all, that's why I wanted to get a quote from a local shop. I think I'm just going to do it myself even if i have to end up pulling the motor. I have another car to drive. It'll have to be a project.

yeah, I think pulling the engine is the best way, because not only do you have to get to the cams to remove them, but you have to remove the front timing chain case to do this.

And unless you have the means to keep the valves closed while changing the springs you will have to remove the heads.

I'm looking for a reputable block machinist down here in South Florida. Looking to get a good price for the work as well as getting it done correctly. If you have used someone in the area PM me, preferably with their phone number and contact information. Thanks.

Going ahead with fully rebuilding the motor, wiseco pistons 11:1 96MM and Eagle Rods. Said screw it why not since to get the cams in it's coming out of the bay Help me find a good machinist!
