So I'm probably going to be going with Syvecs in the long run and I wanted to meet with the local Syvecs shop. I have no experience in the Syvecs world and no idea about who the local guys were and what their capabilities are. Looking on the Syvecs website I found a dealer/tuner that was only 15mi away from my house. I was going to just email them, but thought that if they didn't know anything about the N54 or the released N54 PNP kit they would have time to search and craft a response to me and I wouldn't get a good feel for their capabilities. So I thought about calling, but they could still put me on hold etc. So, what better way than driving 15mi to their shop and showing up unannounced with some questions.
The website was sparse and "under construction". So I wasn't expecting much when I was pulling up...but a full 18 wheeler sitting in their lot with an enclosed car carrier made me perk up. That's a serious rig for carrying around serious race cars. When I opened the door there were two cash counter machines (think drug dealer style) on the counter. That was something I've never seen at a car tuner. And off to the right there were several Labmo TT kits mocked up for display. OK, we are definitely at the right place.
The sales guy I spoke with said he wouldn't talk Syvecs for fear of misrepresenting something, that was Wayne's ball. He said his Syvecs guy was out of the country in Brazil tuning some cars but would be back in a couple weeks. He asked if I knew of, or heard of, Wayne Potts...that's their guy. At this point I had not. The sales guy said I should look him up, he's considered a God in the tuning/electrical engineering world and he's sure Wayne can do anything I needed. I thought, "sure buddy" gave them my contact info and he asked if I wanted to see inside their shop.
Holy fuck.
There were about 25 Lambo's of various persuasions in various stages of build in that shop. Right in front of me was a blue Huracan TT. I pointed to it and asked about it. 2000+hp syvecs tuned by Wayne. OK...that's got my attention. They explained a few of the cars and asked me to come back in a couple weeks when Wayne would be back.
I got home and I found this is tuned by the tuner I was skeptical of just 15min from my house:
Turns out Mr. Potts is *the guy* in the Syvecs world when you need some extreme tuning (pun intended) done. That's why he's out of the country in Brazil tuning cars for them right now.
Also according to the sales guy he said a "certain level" of support and tuning are required to be supplied upon the sale of a Syvecs. I don't know if that means included in the purchase price or what but I'm not sure if I can afford this guy's time hahahaaha... Here's some more of Wayne's work:
I'll come back and update this post after I talk to Wayne and get his input on how and when I should incorporate the PNP kit into my build.
