Default Proven tuners in GA

hey, im wanted to know if there are any other PROVEN tuner shops in Georgia that can tune the utec reliably and still make good power yet won't charge an arm and a leg. I KNOW OF FORGEDPERFORMANCE and Z1 motorsports but they but charge 600+ for FI tuning. Has anyone had their car tuned by R2B2, Lethal Injection, or Dynolabs???? are they legit????? suggestions would really be appreciated. thanks bro.

You will get more responses on what you want to know, more posting one thread rather than 3 with different size text's. Around here, you will just **** people off, and other way is if you don't do what they approve of to your car or if you do not like Asian Women.

You have been For-Warned! haha

Thats why I do not get much of anything, i'm not into Asians or listening to people who do not like what I do to MY car.
okthxbi

Not knocking the other local shops here in GA, but why would you go with one of those shops when you have 2 shops that specialize in your specific car and have more than just general knowledge of the platform. If you learn nothing then learn this, when modding/FI'ing a 350z do not try to cut corners in the TUNING of all places. If you do this you will severely regret it later on. I recommend Forged based on my personal experience with them, but have heard good things about Z1 also.

I totally understand. i feel like he's SLIGHTLY (DONT flame just listen) over-rated. What about R2B2. what about mahdavi motorsports all these are places that tune cars, but no one mentions them everyone flames them like Rota wheels.lol

Basically you should visit each of these places in question and see who you feel the most comfortable with. As far as someone being overrated that is your right to an opinion. What are your power goals and FI plans? Also you may wanna check importatlanta dot com since most of the shops you mentioned are represented well on that site.

sharif @ forged hands down. f/i is the last thing you want to skimp on and your tune is probably the MOST important part. like other people said, do you really want to risk all the $ you have invested to save a couple benjamins?

Very close friend had a very bad experience with things going missing at this location years ago. While things may have changed, I still won't go there.

Sharif at Forged is all over the boards. So if you have any issues, he's not hard to locate for assistance. From everything I've seen and heard, Forged will stand behind their work and work with you if there are flaws.

Z1 is alot bigger in the Z32 community I think. Ihave heard of some nice higher whp builds coming from there though, wouldn't doubt they could do the job for you.

i had a z32 before i got a z33 and z1 is where i always went for the z32 but for z33 i would go to forged. not just cause my brother works for them its just that sharif knows what hes doing to a z33 and he will tell u exactly whats up and will help u anytime u need it.

I know this and agree with you, but the OP seems to want other options.
