Any shops in houston or surrounding areas that have experience in stretching tires camber/toe/caster for aggressive fittments... possibly a shop that's familiar with VIP wheel/suspension fittments???

Another happy customer with SGP, they installed my headers, TP (has to be modified for fitting issues), pulleys and reflashed with osiris... I don't really care about HP and torque on the dyno... but AF ratio now is perfect and before was completely crazy.... I drove the car few days before the tune. you can really feel the difference. (I took two video of my personal "pull" and compared frame by frame to see the time change... imho one of the best way to see performance gain/loss especially if you can get two similar day for temperature and humidity)

Shop Name: SGP Racing
URL: http://www.sgpracing.com
Dyno: Yes
Experience: Excellent!

I have a Vortech tuner kit and was looking for a shop to tune my UTEC and decided to give SGP a try. Mark (tuning guru), Thomas and the entire shop have been honest and went out of their way to make sure that my car was taken care of. I also had them put in a clutch and flywheel and my car has achieved the power goal I was hoping for.

If you own a Nissan in Texas and looking to get more performance, definitely give SGP a call.

I recommend Pinnacle Auto Body, it's right across from SGP racing. They've done some great custom paint job. Then while you're kit is being repainted it can across the parking lot to SGP for some goodies!

I just got back from installing my Nismo exhaust and Berk HFC. I took it to Carboy and came back a very satisfied customer. I came in and out of there in about an hour and a half. They were all Asian, and I felt like they had knowledge about the Z. Only thing to consider is that they charge a premium, $180 for my installation. But I'm willing to pay a few extra dollars to get the job done correctly.

Somebody recommended me to the "other" shop, but I am glad I didn't go there. I felt uncomfortable over there.

No. I know of one member (DIMERYDER), and if I recall he has Nismo headers, resonated test pipes, and Nismo exhaust.
