You're keeping your Lambo-Blue (+ all your other exterior modifications) and going TT in SoCal? I wish you the best of luck 
Kudos for taking the jump for TT's in SoCal. I've thought about it over and over... I always tell myself TT's would be the way to go. But at the end of the day, I would probably still go Vortech due to the strictness of this state.

So before this turns into a Relentless Autosport vs GTM bash.. (those were the two shop that would work on the car)
I've met the guys at GTM (I doubt they remember me) lol and one of my friends even worked at GTM as a ECU installer for some time.. And they dynoed a Stock AT Z that I was working on at the time for a baseline back in 05-06 =). Reason why.. Honestly they're a good shop but they're expensive (well not expensive, actually their prices are close to something I'd charge if I own a shop of that status) and I'm sure they have a waiting list of cars.. everytime I visit there they have well over 10-15 cars parked pending for parts/approval/etc.. I've also worked on cars they've turned out and A++ on the install.. everything is tucked, clean, and easy for anyone to figure out =)
Why relentless? Although their facility isnt as grand as GTM (Mainly because of all the drama that's happned in the past year)but I trust Mark and his work and they've had the most amount of hands on experience with the JWT kit especially since they own their own time attack car, scott's N/A 350z and IP 04 G35.. Their installer knows Nissans and Nissan motors better then anyone out there and I'm willing to pay top dollar for his service. They're stand up guys and will be straight out telling me what can, cant, or is pushing it with what set up. Anyone every talk to Scott will know that he's more of a enthusiast like us then a salesman.. So GG I know my car will be taken care of there..
As for the rest of the shops.. I simply don't trust them =) or never had a chance to meet and check out their work.. I spent a whole day fallowing scott around and picking his brain before even going through with the job.. Lastly it was the Kit.. If I went with APS TT then I'd be at GTM right now.. But JWT.. Why NOT relentless? I mean they're minutes from each other and I know they work closely with eachother
Plus aside from getting bash and blamed for things they've never done.. name one good reason why you shouldnt go with the guys from relentless
Anyways heres the set up
Engine/Drivetrain
JWT TT Kit @ 6.8psi
Single Black FMIC conversion

GT-Spec Rear Bars
Tanabe Mid Brace
Stillen Trunk Strut
SPC Rear Camber Arms, Adjustable Toe Bolts, Adjustable Camber Bolts
255mm PS2 tires in the front
295mm or 325mm tires in the rear
Dumping TEIN Basics
ECU/Misc
undecided ECU
Boost and wideband gauge.. thats it
Italic = Existing Mod
