Itsa7.
Deffinetly man, I'll be there this thursday again,just look for the white Z and walk up to me if I dont spot you.
I swapped my Dash and Bags today, woo!
I also wired up the original boost gauge for the MR's. The other gauges are missing the wiring and im getting prosports anyways.

Someone has to help me decide on a turbo set up. I"ll be at GV around noon tomorrow, anyone runnning meth + aftermarket turbo's pleaseeee give me some tips on your setup and what to get. Im lost with what to do. Im working my but off so money shouldnt be an issue, but I want something that wont cause me to get nailed by a Semi when I pull out infront of it due to the slow spool.
But I want decent numbers

Look for a white 08 350z.

There are a few Evo tuners in the Philly area:

1. Petey @ KHC
2. Ivey Tune
3. CBRD

I here many good reviews on the 1st 2 tuners, but not a lot on CBRD. Most threads are of their turbos, coil overs, etc (parts). Does anyone have experience with CBRD tunes??

Ivey is a hit or miss apparently though. I met Dr.Evo and hes tuned by them, and he had nothing but good things to say about them. As for the others though, well petey I hear lots of greta things over and over. CBRD I know has killer turbo's but thats about it lol.

I have heard about the "hit or miss" situation one too many times. I find that odd since Ivey has so many years of tuning under his belt.

CBRD spends most of their time on the forum promoting their parts, but the majority of their tuning feedback has been positive. (even though there arent too many tuning reviews on them)

Petey seems to be making a lot of members happy with his tunes lately. Problem is, that he only works at KHC on Saturday. I'd feel a lot better if you had access to your tuner through out the week.

He is always accessible.

Care to explain? From what I understand he has another job which keeps him busy during the week. Tuning only 1 day a week would back up his schedule indefinitely @ KHC making it nearly impossible to address situations that may or may not come up..

There are a few of us with X's tuned by Ivey in this thread. I know my car is running strong and has been happy since going there. I am willing to bet he's tuned more X's than anyone on the east coast.

I've also been to CBRD's shop and would recommend him too.

And you all know the support Petey gets in here. I think any of them are viable options for you. I would just talk to all of them and see how they want to tune to fit your setup and their availability that meets your schedule.

it's obvious who i side with.

there's a lot of mixed feelings about #2. i don't have any experience with him to comment.

Chad (CBRD) has been very difficult to nail down when i tried setting something up with him.

just make sure you trust your tuner and you both agree on what you want. although pete tunes on a limited schedule, he is always accessible and cares about the work he does.

Petey. You won't be disappointed. I've seen tunes from him and both of your other suggestions. One of the 2 was flat out garbage and the other was IMO way way too conservative and had an easy 30-40 WHP more available had he pushed it just a bit. Petey will give you a great tune that's safe. He is a loud talker and is one of the most hyper people I ever met but it's worth it. (joking)
