Default Whatever you do!

Whatever you do don't go to SWIFT MOTORSPORTS. Trust me....they will overcharge and do exceptionally crappy work. They charged me $344 dollars to retape an oil pan and then it still leaked. Please just trust me on this! Also, the tuner in the shop is a friend of mine. He has no formal tuning training, only self taught. I love the guy but he is definately function of finess and tuning requires finess!

agreeing up above, Swift Motorsports will f*** your car up!! (bad expirence with an SR20 there, big ouch, dont go).

anyway...

**Victory Research** in East Hartford, they do awesome work there, we did an AEM tune there last year on a cobra kit car, i dont know how good they are with UTEC though, give em a call, they're good people. Mainly a 4g63 tune shop, but they can do anything.

and right down the road from there is **XXtuning** which does some good tuning, dont know about their expirence with Utec though.

Sorry i couldnt be more specific for Utec, but thats all i know of.

I wouldn't trust ANYONE in CT to tune my car... you can call pruvenperformance in milford and ask them if they have ever tuned a UTEC for a 350z though

http://www.pruvenperformance.com

make the choice at your own risk

I shipped my car to Performance Factory in Orlando, but I've heard a lot of great things about MRC.

Of all the tuners I know in CT, none do UTEC on VQ. Go South.

Hey Guys,

I travel on the regular tuning UTEC's and other engine management systems. If you are looking for a tune I can schedule a trip to your area. I make trips to CT frequently as I grew up in Stamford. Feel free to hit me up.

I just recently took a trip to Michigan to tune a board members Z. I have also tuned Adam from Z1's Naturally Aspirated Monster. It turned out really well. If you have any questions feel free to email me or call the shop for me.

I actually just had the car tuned by Junior at The Shop in bridgeport about 2 weeks ago car seems to run fine. I feel he did a good job with it .. made 381 hp. on 9 psi on a very hot day plus he made 2 other conservitive maps for me with lower boost and less timing .

not a single place worth using

if you're getting a UTEC tuned, your absolute, best bet is to contact BlackTuner on here. There is no better UTEC tuner out there

It does help when he works for Turbo XS. Jermaine is a GREAT tuner. Stay away from Junior, if you want you car to last more than 1 month.
