Post Performance Shops

I'm looking for a high quality peformance shop to install exhaust, headers, chips, etc.. in the Northern CA area, hopefully, north of San Francisco. Does anyone have any recommendations?

The Racers Group at Sears Point Raceway, one of the best in the business

Just thought I would follow up and let you know the results of using The Racers Group.

They installed a set of Fabspeed headers and exhaust plus a unichip. Total hp gain was 28hp at the wheel. They have a dyno and used it extensively to tune the unichip in.

Overall, the service was great and the staff extremely knowledgeable.

Thanks for the referral.

28hp gain at the wheel! Hank, you must be happy.

How much did they charge you? I only have the Fabspeed exhaust currently but am considering to add headers and unichip.

Total cost for install and hardware was $3,900. The response and acceleration is awsome.

S-CARGO is in San Ramon north of SF. They have a tunning package for 996 for around $4500. It includes their own headers, Fabspeed muffler, air intake, and throttle body. They swap out the e-gas for throttle body, bore out the fuel injection (not sure if it is the right term) instead of chipping.

I will probably do it after my warranty expires...
