UpRev tuner in the greater Seattle area?

Hambone1 · 04-21-2011, 09:09 AM

That was probably me. I live in Bellevue and head over to Issaquah/Sammamish a lot. That will be cool, let me know when something is getting planned

Was great meeting you Jordan. Can't wait to get my tune from Lawrence after I get a new set of rubber and payback a debt.

I'm hoping for some good numbers considering the slight modding of already done.

Do you have your before and after charts that you can post?
I'm trying to decide on either Kito or Intec.
I'm also trying to understand the differnces between the Mustang dynos and the Dynajet dynos. From what I understand, Kito uses a Mustang and Intec uses a Dynajet. Are there advantages/disadvantages for either type?
I've got the F.I. TDX 18" exhaust, F.I. HFCs on order and have the HPS tubes and K&N drop ins installed. The tune is the last mod to do and trying to make an informed decision on who I should tune my Z.
Any help would be greatly appriciated!

Check him out on facebook

Jordan,

Any chance you can post your charts so we can see how your tune came out?

I'll put up the graphs once they send them and post any differences I see in gas mileage. It will be cheap and easy to tune after any future mods since most of the investment is for the license and establishing the baseline.

I wouldn't worry about the type of dyno people use to tune. The most important thing is the difference between the before and after tune.

Thanks for the information. That help a lot.
Now I just need to decide wheather to go with Kito or Intec...
If anyone has any advice as to which one might be the better option, let me know. They both seem to be great tuners. Thanks.

I've seen Lawrence do this all too often to make sure the tune is done right. I only go to them.

My Uprev tune has been great. We're hoping to look into throttle issues that plague the 370z.

Forgot to say that Lawrence has gotten my tune almost to 300rwhp.

Lawrence got me to 315 and 265 tq

I have been talking to Joe at Intec. I am leaning in that direction...

NICE!! I've probably seen a picture of your car on their FB page.

Don't forget that Lawrence from Intec was one of like 15 protuners from across the world who got invited down to uprev for their exclusive invite only training class on the new GTR software... Did kito go? He must be doing something right
