Lower pricing, and 370Z support to Pro Tuners

2 things..first is UpRev as far as houston tuners go the only reputable one I know of is EngineLogics, they have a good rep so far that I know of. Second is TT/supercharging the 370, The car already has overheating issues, fuel starvation, etc. So wouldn't that only increase those issues ? Especially when tracking the vehicle.

Enginelogics, last I talked to them (when I did my last dyno), only does Cobb. They are not doing Uprev currently, but that might have changed.
I think those issues will not increase with a better tune if tracking because they are already there even with the stock tune and will be solved with proper track prep.

Yeah they USED to only do Cobb but quit because of something do to with the licensing and they paid a whole bunch of money and then they offered it to everyone for very little. I wasn't actually saying they should offer it to Enginelogics because I doubt they would take it (they are pretty fond of stand alone EMS) but if UpRev showed them what it is and then maybe they would. I was simply stating they are the best I know of in Houston.

The fuel issue is more than likely resolved by a larger fuel pump unless it has something to do during high g cornering. At one time had a 300-500 hp nitrous system and had to put in larger fuel lines to support it but I seriously doubt you need to go that far. The overheating issue is clasic for N/A cars converted to FI expecially in a climate like TX.

Unless something has changed, John Page of 21st Century Muscle Cars (Lingenfelter) here in Dallas will not do anymore twin turbo cars due to overheating issues. FI and increased heat comes with the territory.

Now..how about the tuning questions I asked?? Valve lift? Timing? Does UpRev even have a dyno?

Uprev

I'd love to work with Engine Logics. They built the motor that is in our semi-shop car owned by Chris Lamprecht. I've seen their work and it speaks for itself.

If they have a dyno then they should get on the bandwagon and get to tuning Houston cars. Right now all Houston customers that want a dyno tune have to drive to Austin.

I know that shortly Import Parts Pro will have the ability to flash cars, but I think they will be renting dyno time. They aren't a Pro Tuner, but they are a dealer.


When you make a car forced induction, or you're making lots more power, then you're also generating more heat. So if you're doing that and not doing anything to help compensate for that heat generated then thats an issue for you to deal with. No amount of tuning will help.

Yeah they got a DD and they are very confident and proud of it haha. They said "It doesn't read low/high, it reads correct !" Made me feel confident in them, they also do everything in house and are really cool people to deal with. He lives in a house attached to the shop which is nice because it's kind of a safe feeling for me. I hope they get it because I am comfortable with their work and they are closer than Austin.
