They are in Spring TX, so that's a bonus that they are relatively close by.. And the price is pretty good too. Anyone have any feedback on them?

Never heard of them, but I'd check on my350 to see if others have gotten engine packages from them. Can't go wrong w/ SGP also...talk to Eddie there.

SGP is considerably more expensive though from what I saw..

I am considering a build in the near future, perhaps towards the end of the year. So I'm planning it out to see how much it will all cost etc.

There are no real VQ specialists in the DFW area. GS could do it, but I'm not sure how much German would charge. I mean his work speaks for itself. His personal 600hp SR20 is insane. And I've seen him build a 700hp RB26 as well.

Yes, I'm aware it's in Spring, TX

As Will said, not too many VQ35 machine shops here in the area.

Kyle (IPP) worked for SGP for a long time as one of their main guys. He left a few years ago and started his own company. He seems fairly well respected, but I have not done business with him or SGP.

I do know he has worked on the 300zx, and now 350z for a long time.

Awesome, thanks for the info! SGP is pretty well known in the nissan world I'd say, so that sounds like a go to me.

I don't think HomieG35 would agree with that sentence... https://g35driver.com/forums/showpos...4&postcount=22

He is still fighting with them to get his Procharger correct!

Odd, seems like a lot of people have this problem according to that thread, so not just HomieG35 with SGP. When going to bigger injectors on a stock ECU you will have some issues..I wonder what engine management he is using. And also adjusting the BOV makes a difference as well, German fixed mine right up on my 240, while others I know with the same SR20DET had problems when using a BOV.

I've seen some nice twin turbo setups in person that were done at SGP, on 350z's mostly. I would still say they are a known competent Nissan shop.
