Tuner shop recommendations in PDX area?

Just wondering if anybody knew a good place to get a clutch and have it installed. OEM is out of the question since it is $$$. I saw a couple places online, RREV Motorsports and PRE Racing. Does anyone here have experience with them or any other reliable suggestions? Help is greatly appreciated.

To tell you the truth I'm not even sure if it needs replacing. Thats just what the dealer told me. I bought the car used with low miles and I don't believe I could have killed it that bad with my grandma driving. It feels smooth to me but does have a high engagement point. I get mixed reviews from other people on that. I am afraid of waiting till it too late. Thoughts anybody?

horsepower freaks is a good shop alot of people recommend, I don't have any personal experience with them though. A good place to look is either on nwstreetracing.com or northwestnissans.com and search for shop referalls. Race Dezigns out in beaverton is who I got my tint done at, and the guys there seemed pretty cool, shop is a little on the small side, but they seem to know what they are doing. My mechanic I use for everything else is located in beaverton as well, the place is called Canyon Auto Repair, the owner is Viet, and knows what he's doing as far a maintanence and repairs, a clutch shouldn't be a problem for him either.

The only place that has built/tuned TT G35's in the NW is Intec Racing In Kent, if you just need parts hit me up I can get deals on most reputable aftermarket stuff, but as for tuning, turbo installs, maintenance, etc I'd make the drive to Kent. Just last summer they did a 690whp Brian Crower stroker and a 515whp automatic G35 with a built tranny

Intec in Kent did a nice Uprev tune on my built TT G. If you don't feel like making the drive however, Portland Speed Industries (PSI) in Beaverton is like 25 min out of Portland, they're shop is SICK, even if you don't have em tune your car, the place is definitely worth touring and owner J is a super chill guy to just shoot the **** with.

PSI is also licensed to tune Uprev, and Im confident J could get your car set up the way you want, he was up front and said he's only done a handful of VQ builds through his shop whereas Intec has made it their niche'. Tuning is tuning, though Intec is more familiar and has more seat time with the Uprev software. It's been around a year since Intec tuned my setup (just shy of 500rwhp) and I can say Im very happy with my decision.

I just got a clutch installed not too long ago at TrakForged. They're off I-84E near the Troutdale outlets. I paid a little under 1100
