Uprev tuned by Specialty Z
Uprev tuned by Specialty Z
Hey guys, just got a tune this weekend by Sebastien and Gregg from Specialty Z. Very helpful guys! They came in for a group tune in St. Louis at Adrenaline Motorsports. There were a few Z33's, a Z34, and a bunch of Z32's. My mods are as follows:
Motordyne Shockwave TDX
Berk Test Pipes
5/16 Plenum Spacer
Z1 intake
Drop-in Filter
NKG 6s Spark Plugs
I was running way lean on the base pull. I was around 13.5 to nearly 14 air to fuel, so they quickly got me back down to the mid 12's where i needed to be. Also, my factory spark plugs were failing after 6,000 rpm, so we swapped them out for some NKG's so fix the issue. Base line pull was 246 hp and I walked out with 254. Very happy with the tune. I gained nearly 20 ft-lbs of torque past 3,000 rpm. It pulls very smooth and hard now!
The Uprev software is very easy to use and switch maps from. The 5 maps provided are very useful. Really changed the way the car drives. Thanks to Seb and Gregg!

All you need to know- DO NOT GO TO adrenaline motorsports @ 4150 Shady Springs Ln, St Peters, MO 63376 !!!! FOR ANYTHING!!! ( might as well throw a bunch of money in a trash can)
BAD SHOP!!!( if you can even call it a shop) RIPS YOU OFF!!!
This is my story. Two years ago I moved to the area looking for a shop I could take my car to for performance upgrades and work on it. I found out about Adrenaline Motorsports on 4150 Shady Springs Ln, St Peters, MO 63376 by a simple Google search. I installed my turbo kit my self and than needed help getting it tuned to run and perform how I wanted it to. Called them told them what I had and asked what I would need if anything. I asked them if they could tune it to 400hp. They said that they could get it no problem. I brought it to them and the told me that they would get it in, in the next few days even though I Scheduled an apt before hand. So I ended up leaving it there after a week of not hearing from them I called to see if they had it done yet, they told me that it was too hot outside to tune it. It was warm but it should not have been a problem because my turbo being a rear mount needs to be hot to perform well anyway. so I told them that I would come get it till the weather cooled down. I watched the weather forecast and called when It cooled down to the 60s. Brought it in and the shop forgot to tell the tuner to come that day, so I had to wait 2 hours for him to get there, left it there for another 2weeks called the shop to see what was going on. He said that the injectors were not large enough even though plenty of cars use them to achieve the hp I was looking for so I bough new injectors installed them and brought it back. This time they said that the car could not be tuned because it had an exhaust leek. I told them to fix it and get it done over the next month they had my car. Again I had to call them not once did they call me to update me! I asked what was taking so long they informed me that there dino was broken and they had to order parts to fix it, and they TOLD me that they welded the piping and fixed the leeks, and sent the turbo to get rebuilt.
I came and got it and told them to call me as soon as they got there dyno fixed, 2 weeks later I called them again and asked if it was fixed they said it wasn’t but we were first on the list to call when it was done. I was on a forum 2 weeks later and saw that they had a "test and tune" last week. I called them again and they said that they forgot to call because they were busy with there own cars. I asked if i could get it tuned now they said yes no problem I brought it in again and the tuner this time said that he didn’t like the ecu piggyback that I was using and to buy a Different one. So i bought another one and had him use that to tune a week later I called again and asked if it was done they said it would be the next day so I came in the next day to get it ended up waiting another 2 hours for them to finish they told me they tuned it for a safe reliable 375. I said ok. After paying each time for a tune and extra for turbo being rebuilt and leeks "fixed", I told them that I was not paying anymore because they never successfully tune it in the first place and I had spent ALOT of money with them. They ended up not charging me for the last tune which I shouldn’t have paid for anything at allll!!!
Later I looked under my car and there is NOOO welding done anywhere!!! So they lied about that too!
-------OVER ALL----- They are the worst shop you can bring your car to. BAD customer service!! They NEVER CALL YOU to tell you anything (if its done. if its broken, if they cant do it)!!! You will end up paying them to just park your car in there shop. You will be paying them to destroy your stuff! They do not care about anything or anyone but them selves! DO NOT GO THERE!!!!!
They nearly destroyed my car! I brought it to another shop in Louisville KY and they told me all the stuff that was wrong with adrenaline motorsports work. Told me that they were surprised it had not blown up yet because of they "Tune" adrenaline motorsports put on it.
I hope that this helps people not get ripped off further by them.
