I have plenty experiences w/ this shop. they are great to me and my friends. def recommend them and to me they are the best in tuning!
only down side they are booked like crazy. right now they have something like 50 cars pending.

for your VB upgrade, they are the right guys to take it too! if u go to the 350 side there are several that have done it already by sgp. hope this helps.

If you search on the 350z forum theres a video of the VB on a G35, and the guy even posted graphs on the differences in shifts, that thing is worth every penny. Ive heard nothing but good things about SGP, atleast as far as Nissans go.

The shop does pretty good work, just they are really packed. Ask for Mark if anything.

my car is at SGP right now getting the VB and TC mods for my G. My entire car has been done at SGP and i highly recommend the shop. Problem is, it comes at a pretty penny. They arent the cheapest, but you definately get the service you'll want.

I used to take my car to SGP when they first opened it.

I wonder if this is the place to take it when the new GTR comes out for upgrades?

get the APS if you feel thats the better choice. the guys at SGP can explain it to you better than i can, but the essence of it is that the Greddy TT kit is expandable and the APS is not. you can only make so much off the APS and theres people already making 800+rwhp off the greddy kit.

Does SGP have any experience with TN installs? Whats are some other good shops in Texas? SGP has such a long waiting list, ive read of guys having their motors out for a year . If I ever did get a turbo I cant wait that long for an install.
