No first hand experience with SC.
I’m more of an NA guy.
However I have spent big bucks on projects.
Best advice I can give is, if you’re willing to wade into the waters of a $15000.00 to $25000.00 plus budget job, get it done by an experienced shop that does this year round and will stand behind its work.
A shop that knows exactly what supporting mods you will or will not need.
A shop with in-house dyno tuning.
I would unreservedly recommend Dasilva Racing in Pickering, Ont.
With 4 cars, I have been dealing with them since 2008 and have visited their shop over a dozen times over the years.
Logistical points:
-It is a bit of a drive, and this job is a several day job. So you can consider making a holiday of it and wait there while they work on car. Catch a Blue Jays game or something.
Or you can arrange car transport to them and fly out to get car once it’s ready.
-If driving, bring one or two jerry cans of the gas you use the most around here so they tune with that gas.
Make the car as empty as possible before you get there and dump it in to tune.
It should be the best 91 octane you can find here in the maritimes. We don’t have anything higher.
Usually Shell or Irving, if it’s a high volume/traffic station. Avoid low traffic stations because their fuel does not rotate enough, especially there premium fuel.
If shipping it’s easy. Just fill it up here before it leaves.
I speak from experience here. I have driven there in past for tuning and picked up bad gas along the 401 and it interfered with tuning efforts once there.
And believe me, once it’s on the dyno they can tell if you have good or bad gas in the tank. Bad gas limits what they can deliver.
Note: Dasilva will not tune your car to the edge of damaging it. They will leave a margin for safety. But if you start with bad gas that margin is that much further back.
They are easy to access, right off the 401 on Brock road in Pickering.

They are busy and this is busiest time of year so the sooner you contact for appointment the better. Or plan for next year.
Good luck and happy spending, whatever you decide to do.
