NYBladeZ - you posted this in August....you basically trashed Alex's shop really for no good reason....and now you've vanished from this thread?

Dude!

I PMed NYBladeZ because it would be great to get tuned so close to home and the tone towards Performance Motorsports wasnt a great one. Im fairly sure that whatever negative conception NYBladeZ originally had of them has been resolved, which is a testament to both of them. BladeZ was actually the one who recommended I call Alex and set up an appointment to get tuned. I think the only issue here is that the thread died and nobody ever jumped back in and said the air had been cleared.

That's cool...it would just be good to hear it from him, that's all. I hate when people trash a vendor for no good reason, in effect hurting the reputation of said vendor.

(They are Uprev's #1 NE tuner...you think Uprev would support them at all if they sucked?)

It's a matter of doing the right thing. In this case, that would be to delete this thread.

Well Im pretty confident Ill have some good things to say about them in this thread come next weekend. So hopefully then the thread will paint a more accurate picture of the shop.

You could have just PM'd me instead of giving me the face palm, jeez.

Anyways since it is originally my thread I guess I'll give an update. The guys at Performance suck....jk jk. Alex is a cool dude as is Gary who owns the shop. We ran across an exhaust snag and they readily worked with me to get the issue resolved. They even offered to make me an appointment with their affiliated dealership when an air bag sensor went bad.

Results, well while it is arguable that they have a high reading dyno I guess the delta is what matters. With LTH's, K&N drop ins, and 2.5" tubing to a stock muffler I made 316/247 at the wheels. However, my torque band was up high in the power band. Post tune I made 327/251 but with a FAT and I mean FAT torque band. I'm now spinning first and all of second with a sh!t eating grin on my face. The car feels great AF ratio is clean sorry I don't have the graph with me.

Customer service is great I could probably hang around the shop all day and chat it up with Alex and the guys but we all have work to do. Weather permitting I'll be there Saturday morning for a cup of hot coffee...see you there

btw about the pullies, yeah I mentioned it to Alex, his response you are getting a few extra ponies while sacrificing longevity. It will in some way throw off the harmonic balancer over time and slowly kill your motor.

This is a re-post from my personal build thread, click here to check out the dyno sheet: Mag Black Kielbasa

I spent a few hours at their shop and I have to say theyre definitely a very chill bunch and more importantly, they know their stuff. 2 other Z owners and myself were made to feel at home the entire time.

The owner tuned my car himself. While HP didnt show much change, my TQ numbers got a nice boost in the 3k - 6k range. They corrected my A/F ratio, which had been a bit lean from all of the bolt-on air modifications you will find in my sig. Removed the speed limiter, though its unlikely Ill be crackin 150mph any time soon anyway and slightly increased my rev limiter to about 7600.

I didnt expect a huge bump in the numbers, but it was definitely nice to see the TQ gains especially in the range that I hit during spirited driving. Most important for me was cleaning up the A/F so that my car believes and drives as if my bolt-ons came that way from the factory. The drive home felt really smooth, but I will update after I put a few more miles on it.

Overall a great experience and I will not hesitate to bring my car to these guys with any future modifications I sign up for. If you are in the Northeast and definitely for you Long Island guys, Performance Motorsport East is a great place to bring your rides.
