Hey guys, I have been doing research and looking for a local Uprev tuner. One of the most knowledgeable tuners in the bay area is Z Car Garage and I stumbled across their blog. In their blog, they did some work to an FX35 including some exhaust work and a uprev tune. I just wanted to get some additional information from the car's owner about his experience with Z Car and what not.
Does anyone on the forum know who the owner might be and if they are on this forum? It's a gold colored 05 fx35 and the owner's name seems to be Dannie. Here is the link to the blog.

Also, on another note this particular car had a baseline dyno of 177hp/191tq which to me is low. Stock factory numbers are 280hp to the flywheel so that would equal to about a 37% drivetrain loss which is quite significant. I know there could be a number of variables such as the dyno setup, condition of the engine and etc but I am still amazed that there was that much loss of power.
