Todd Elbrink brought his car in for some small upgrades like brakes and some other small things. We were not happy with how the car was running and decided with Todd to diagnose the issues then re dyno tune the car as this car was built and tuned by a different shop. Found an inop air regulator that was not even hooked up, powder coated throttle bodies that would not seal properly and missing hardware, and the wrong base file uploaded onto the Nistune board that was causing issues that the tuner was trying to tune around. We ended up fixing the issues and bringing the power level up at the same boost level as before and coming online sooner. Thank you Todd for trusting us with your beautiful car and glad we got everything sorted out.

Welcome to the 800hp club. Richard Venner and his son Robert Venner sent us their car all the way from Oregon to get the ZShack build. We have gotten very familiar with pumping the exact recipe out on multiple cars are are very happy with the results. Details are fully built ZShack longblock with JWT 400+ cams only in the heads. Bde top feed 1300x injectors, BDE R35 coilpacks, Haltech ELite 2500 using the pro harness for Wiring Specialties. GTX Gen2 2860's with all breather mods. on pump gas the car makes 546hp and 492tq at 17ish psi. Switching over to E85 the car becomes a monster, making 806hp and 765tq at 30psi falling of to around 27.

UPGRADES!
While we were the first tuners to run a state of the art knock monitoring system on the z32 platform, the original Plex V2 system has become dated and worn. We just upgraded to the new Plex V3 knock monitoring system! It is the most advanced knock detection system available for tuners! The v2 system was already excellent, but the v3 is even better! I look forward to tuning with it from here on out!
In this business, You’re only as good as your tools!
Only the best for our ladies!

All the way from Fargo, North Dakota we have Steven Cossette's originally fully built Stillen 300ZX. While the Stillen mods were nice and the car had pretty much everything from the catalog on it, more power was needed. So we went with a fully built ZShack engine, Haltech Elite 2500 featuring the Wiring Specialties PRO harness for install. Z1 GTX gen2 2860 turbos, BDE top feed kit with 1300cc injectors. We ended up at 770hp and 740tq at 32psi dropping off at the top. This was on e85. Congrats Steve I know you are gonna be having a blast with this when the weather is nice up there.
