Church Automotive or Technosquare. They are both local.

In Wilmington. I think they might both be very close to you.

I would recommend UpRev Osiris over Technosquare any time (though TS is still a great reflash). Hence, I would recommend you to Church Automotive. I had my car tuned there and the results where great.

Don't think so. Before the last Dyno day, the last one Shawn had was back in Match of 07

I recommend the Osiris also but could not recommend Church Automotive, definitely not for me, but of course everybody has their happy and un-happy customers, so it's up to you to determine, I respect their business and all people's opinions though. I guess you'll be ok since you're NA.

As for me, Osiris is the way to go, if I cannot find someone to tune it, I rather go Technosquare and get a tune there. But I heard HB Speed in Fountain Valley does Osiris also. I know some other shops like gtm etc. that does Osiris but the tuning-cost price for their tuner is more then average, you don't have to ask why.


Good luck buddy

I'll stick to Shawn Church. When it comes to NA VQ's, he's the man to go to. The TS reflash is not as 'customized'.

Church w/Osiris or TS - here's my take on both from this thread:http://my350z.com/forum/tuning/39567...ml#post6499128

TS is a very viable option - gains are definitely worth it - comparable to Osiris (for the most part)... the area that Osiris excels is its versatility = up to 5 maps (3 for older ECUs) to be tuned to fit your needs (e.g. econo, performance pump gas, race gas, valet, etc)... Osiris can adjust cam timing (this is one area that I don’t think TS tinkers with)... additionally, UpRev is continuously adding beneficial tweaks (such as recent ETC update). Tuning updates (for added mods) is relatively simple and cost effective with Osiris as well.

TechnoSquare is a great group of people! I've used them for various things over the years and continue to use them - highly recommended. :thumbup:

For tuning though, I give the nod Osiris for its versatility - and the tuner I use, Shawn Church, is brilliant with Osiris!

For purely one time tune performance, I'm certain you would be happy with either. For all the reasons I mentioned above, I use Osiris.

I love the part that osiris can increase your rev limiter. ill make mine go upto 7400. they do a before and after tune right so that i can see the gains?

Of course.

Be careful with the higher rev limited, as you don't necessarily make more power with more revs.

before and after "dyno", yes.

I would advise not to bump rev limiter past 7200... the only thing it really helps with is to stay in 3rd gear through 1/4 mile if you have shorter gears... or if you get aftermarket cams and can take advantage of higher rpm hp.

If you ever do need to go above 7200, it is advised to get upgraded valve springs, rod bolts and oil pump. As those are items that typically fail at rpms higher than 7200.

well do you think higher rev limiters help you out in street races? 6500 is just way too less, im always getting up there and need a bit more of a bump. well i will atleast get the limiter up to 7200 atleast.
