Los Angeles recommendations for speedshop?

That looks more like a store than a shop. I'm looking for a reputable shop. GTM seems like my best bet right now. If I'm going to throw a small fortune at my car, I want the work done right.

Help me out (so I have a game plan):
Besides the turbos, I'd need injectors, turbo timer (I know that's optional, but I want one!), FMU, tune, FPR(?), and the labor... Got an idea of what I should be looking at $ wise?

$10,500 installed and tuned. The includes everything you mentioned, except a clutch, turbo timer, and A/T upgrade.

Cool... Got a clutch recommendation? Will stock handle the that power as is? (Probably not that long, right?)

I don't drive autos... They're too boring for my driving style. I'll purchase a turbo timer. I think I saw one from Apex-i I liked.

That price is pretty good. What kind of innercooler do you use?

George,

As far as FI goes, will you guys be offering anything other then a TT package? Supercharger, single Turbo ??

I would like to keep things simple and everything else stock for now, looking for a mild street set-up, something that could produce another 60-100hp as a daily driver would work for me. Also priced in the $4K - $6K range.

I've got 600 miles on my 370z so far, at what point could we start bolting stuff on

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!

Braden

I'd be interesting to see a supercharger setup. There's two throttal bodies, so either you'd need two superchargers or an air splitter (like the DOOLZ intake kit for the 300z). I'd still stick with turbo, but if you're going to do single turbo or single supercharger, you'll need to figure out how to get air to both throttal bodies or replace the intake manifold all-together (which would be the least simple job).

For now we are only offering a twin turbo setup, although common misconception, its not going to be much cheaper, if at all to produce a single turbo kit, or supercharger system, especially since it will most likely require 2 superchargers.

Our tuner kits are priced around 7,000 - Doesn't really get much cheaper

I would put around 2,000-3,000 miles on the car before going F/I.

Our kit includes our own GTM intercooler.

Sweet. I'll have to take a look at it on your site. (By the way, you should throw your site link in your signature!
