I own a 2013 Camaro ZL1 that is very important to me and is one of the nicest and most fun vehicles I have had the pleasure of owning so far in life. After having it a couple years I decided it was time to give it more POWER! I emailed and called several shops in the area to get more info on what mods I wanted to install. Jason was the only one who genuinely seemed interested in the project as well as giving me the best quote.
After much discussion, I decided on getting headers, 10" lower pulley, injectors, tune, and trans/diff fluid changed as well as dyno runs at PSI.
He dealt with the vendors and the parts ordering process extremely well and even when LPE sent a 10% pulley instead of 10", worked with me to not only find another replacement quickly, but to get it here and installed with overnight shipping on his dime. Also had issue with some changed parts numbers on the headers that required an extra part which he had overnighted and covered the extra cost on. He got cheaper prices on the parts than I could have had I ordered them myself. He even through in the trans/diff fluid change in at no charge!
Once they got the work done, he was 110% there for every aspect of the tuning process and it was very clear the techs he employed there did quality work. As with any custom engine mods you put on a car, tuning them to work properly is the most crucial step. Jason's communication to me throughout the process, updates on the progress, and detailed emails made me extremely happy I chose them to do the work. There's a lot of people that think they know how to tune, but Jason and PSI are definitely professionals. 23 years experience and is at a level of experience you'd commonly see engineers in the field have. He has the connections too so even on complicated projects you can feel confident that you will get the most horsepower out of your ride SAFELY and at a price you can't beat.
He was not afraid to show me the ins and outs of the software he uses to work on vehicles, take rides with me while he made tuning adjustments, and explain in full the types of changes he was making. For someone that usually likes to work on their own cars, but doesn't have a lift in their garage and the tuning experience, it made for a great experience for me.

Extremely pleased with Portland Speed Industries. I was having some problems with my 240sx I couldn't find. I called and set up a appointment with the very nice lady that works up front, she was so wonderful and kept me posted and up to speed with everything that was going on. My car was only there for about a day and they were very fast and hard working. Very happy with their customer service and the gentlemen that went through my car. They took very good care of me!

Their negative reputation around town proceeds them. I had an appointment for two weeks and when I showed up the fabricator refused to stop what he was working on to honor my appointment. Money lost by me taking time off work and getting nothing accomplished. How is see it, PSI owes me my lost wages. Last few people I had mentioned PSI to said they were overpriced car snobs with poor customer service. Ding ding, nail meet head. My job must have been less of a money maker than the "winey" (confirmed by an employee) fabricator's current job. No honor in keeping appointments of customers. Don't waste your time or money here, go to a more professional place. They are around

I recently had a new motor and carb put into my car. I was trying to get it all tuned and dyno'd by psi. I have called and left my name and number 5 times now and have even stopped by in person once. One of the times i called i was told that he would get ahold of the independant contractor that does this work and get back to me. Not one single returned phone call. I am not sure about the other work that is done by this shop but if this is a sign of what kind of service to expect i would look elsewhere.

I have a 2003 Nissan 350Z, and I put some bolt-on performance parts on it. I've been searching for months for a good place to get the car tuned to take advantage of the Engine Management system and the potential of the bolt-on parts (Cold Air Intake and Exhaust). PSI was recommended to me by 503 Motoring in Beaverton, and I have to say I love it there. When I first pulled up, I noticed a plethora of sports cars (Corvettes, Camaro LS1, Mustangs, an M5, a Noble, and a few Toyota Supras). That reassured me, since people with much nicer cars than myself are willing to trust this team. Not only that, but a lot of tuners in the Pacific NW focus on Subarus, so they typically won't touch certain types of cars. Well, there were tuners, luxury, muscle, and more.
I had spoken to Brian on the phone to make sure that I had everything that I needed. Brian alone saved me $200 just in tuning software that I was misinformed about. When I walked in, I was greeted by Brian and another employee. Brian actually shook my hand, which is something that I was surprised by. After getting all checked in and what not, he introduced me to the tech that would be doing the tune. His name was Jason. Jason saved me $150 on a part that I purchased that I didn't need that I was told that I would need. So may car hadn't even been touched, and I was already feeling pretty good. Both Brian (Lead) and Jason (I think he's the Co-Owner) seemed to know exactly what they were talking about.
While they were hooking up my car, Brian gave me a tour of their facility, and I was absolutely awed. They have a huge garage, which had at least 10 cars in it (most of them appeared to be being worked on). After the tour, he said "make yourself at home." They had a nice waiting area, which I'll explain in a second. While I was entering the waiting area, another employee came over and briefly explained the waiting area to me.
The waiting area was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. There was a nice couch, water/coffee and they have a setup on the wall (left-to-right) of mounted TV, window, mounted TV. The TV on the left is a live feed into the room behind the wall. The window is a view of your car on the dyno. Finally, the TV on the right is linked to the computer being used to tune your car. This means that it will display real-time engine info during the dyno pulls, then display the results after each pull. This entire display blew me away.
After the process was over (I was there for around 2 hours total, I think), Jason (tech) recapped all of the modifications that were made, and explained the dyno graph to me. This was nice because he was able to tell me exactly what he change within certain RPM bands that made the biggest differences in power. He also explained the tweaks that were made to the ECU, all of which lead to better overall driveability.
I will recommend PSI to anyone interested. I've already told two my friends about them, and I hope that they also utilize their services. Brian and Jason, thank you so much for the tune, the car runs noticeably quicker and smoother.

After coming highly recommended, I recently took my 2008 Acura TL into PSI for a couple different (very) basic modifications, and have never been more disappointed with the quality of work I received. The work order included an AEM Cold Air Intake installed, an Acura OEM ASPEC suspension kit (pre-assembled, basically plug and play) replacing my stock suspension, and the simple request to swap out my OEM headlights for a new set I had brought with me, while the front bumper was already off (a total of 7 10mm bolts to secure on each side, no joke) in order to install the AEM Cold Air Intake. I had spoke several times with PSI prior to bringing my car in, we agreed on a price, date, time and services performed, but not a single one held true. They didn't align my car after installing completely new suspension, claiming it wouldn't need it (both camber and toe were significantly off as I knew they would be, had to spend an extra $100 to get it re-aligned) even though we had agreed it would be aligned after being installed per my specific, and agreed upon request. The brand new AEM Cold Air Intake I had them install came completely loose from both the clamps and motor mount (one of the clamps wasn't even hugging the intake valve, and the bolt on the motor mount wasn't secured), and the brand new original hardware I provided wasn't used. The turn signal bulbs I brought with me and also requested that they replace while swapping out my headlights weren't installed either. Also, due to the carelessness of the technician that was working on my car, my inline fuse holder was just left draping in my engine compartment instead of being remounted where he found it, and ended up melting the entire thing.
I called PSI and gave them the laundry list of everything that was done wrong, we agreed for me to bring my car back in so they can remount the Cold Air Intake and install the bulbs in the headlights, and I was also told I would be reimbursed for the cost of replacing my inline fuse adapter ($70) as long as I brought the invoice. So I brought the car back in, waited another 5 hours, only to find once they pulled the car back out of the bay, they still hadn't installed the turn signal bulbs, and the COO offered me "in-store credit" for the cost of my new in-line fuse adapter, not a refund as he originally stated. All they did in that amount of time was manage to properly secure my Cold-Air Intake, which should have been done right in the first place. And now I have a $70 store credit to a place I'll never go to again. Perfect.
I've heard these guys can do decent work, but that was so completely opposite of both my experiences with them I wish I would have just done the work myself. The tech working on my car had to consult OEM specs online several times just to pull the front bumper off, something that takes me ten minutes and I'm not a professional mechanic. Lastly, they of course made no effort to aim the new headlights that they dropped in, a detail most shops would have done out of thoroughness and general courtesy, takes 5 minutes at best.
Hope you all have better luck than I did with these guys!

I had just finished an sr20 swap in my 89 240sx and was looking for a shop that could tune it. Fellow car mates recommended that i check out Portland Speed Industries. After doing some research and getting in touch with them, i found them to be very professional and knowledgeable. They worked with my schedule to set up an appointment for me to bring my car in. When i arrived i found that they had a waiting area with a window so i could actually watch my car being tuned. All said and done the whole process took about 45 minutes. I had it tuned on apexi power fc. When it was done the tuner came out and explained to me how everything went and answered any questions i had. I am very pleased with the experience i had and would recommend this shop to everyone.

Great shop, I took my srt10 there and they have done the cleanest work I have ever seen,, I posted pics on a srt10 forum and people from Germany were saying that they would send there vehicle over for some work as it looked like factory work and they are not aloud to do mods to there cars over there and it has to be factory... Jason has helped me out in every aspect great guy, great team.. But they are vary vary vary busy all the time. and you can see why.. Amazing work.. They took my SRT10 with 1100hp and removed the super charger and totaly rebuilt the motor, custom suspension, roll cage and so on... Motor will hit over 2000hp... Highly recommended if your a serious car guy.

The front area of the shop is very sleek and clean and the dyno area allows for you to watch your vehicle pull runs. The garage is littered with everything from high end performance tuners to old school muscle cars to brand new sports cars. I highly recommend that if you are looking to get any upgrades on your car to check out PSI. I was not under any financial or other obligation to type this. I am just a very happy customer with a now 600rwhp / 600rwtq ZL1!!

This place is fantastic. Jason, the owner, is the most straight forward and honest guy I've dealt with in a while. Recommended what I should do, refused to oversell me, worked around my schedule and made it work even though the supplier sent the wrong part. Incredible facility and a huge future showroom of cars being worked on. Amazing. I recommend this business to anyone and everyone.

Called on 3/17 to get a quote to add an oxygen sensor bung to my down pipe. Told lady I can bring down pipe in removed from car as I had not installed it yet. She took my number and said she would have to talk with the fabricator. Called me back same day, told me the quote. 1-2 hours plus $50 fee. I said ok, asked when I could bring the pipe in. She said they were busy through the next week but would call me back to set something up. I have yet to hear back from her. Baffles me as to how this place can run in this fashion. Why would you get a quote and not know when i can drop off a part to have modified? Plus not call back. She was initially nice but am disappointed in the customer service.
