Coming from a g35 coupe I can tell you SGP does fantastic work with the VQ35 (350z) engines. I really haven't heard much of their work for evo's, but I will probably have them do some work on my MR around Christmas. Anyway here is a link to an evo they built in their customers car section that is pretty nice.

if they installed this, then I'm going to have to say that they could PROBABLY do some of the minor work I want done, like getting the gauges installed, a WORKS P2, etc. . .although, I guess some of you guys could just help me out with that, like maybe have a mod meet?!!!

haha!

Sgp didn't install anything in that red evo. All they did was the tuning on it.

Their dynapack rocks, unfortunately two of the packs are fried. I'm not sure when those will get replaced. Sgp does do some of the best clutch work on evos.

I would not recommend getting tuned on that old turbochargers dyno. It puts a severely incorrect load on the car and once you get on the street you'll have some problems.

good to know, thanks for the heads up...Nick seems like a stand-up guy though, he has someone that specializes in working for him that can do anything that you need to the car...i will let you guys know how the install for the clutch goes

Nick definately seems like a stand up guy. It's just that he's using the wrong dyno to tune cars. It's basically only good for putting up a number. You need a load based dyno which Sgp only has at the moment.
