How does he stay in business with such crappy tunes? I guess there are just that many suckers that only see numbers and think their car magically makes some crazy amount of power over what any other 1 of that model does? I can almost understand skewing numbers to some extent, but does it not occur to people that you can only throw out so much crap before people start throwing it back?

That's been a point in him being called out. He claims these time but has never posted a single time slip.

No idea.. you know some people just get a nice car cuz they like it but know nothing about cars so they get screwed over by guys like these who just show high numbers but aren't the true numbers. That's why before I got tuned I looked around before I went to saul. There's only a few tuners that I trust when it comes to my z. Saul is definitely one of them and the others are out of state haha

I've heard a lot of good things about Saul and his tuning capabilities. Jon @ Z1 did mine. I'm about 3 hours from them. If I was in your part of the world, it would be Saul.

This guy told me he thought anything less than 360whp was low. There seems to be a group of VQs that this Turbo Joe guy has suckered. He told me he knew of 1 guy making 375 and him and somebody else were both making 385, but he "likes to be conservative" and only really advertises the 380 number.

I was pretty happy with my numbers, but according to this guy, it's weak sauce
