lol... thanks for helping out guys =)
Generally its means repgrogramming(flashing) the factory ECU to change alter the stock settings related to Air/Fuel Ratio, Ignition Timing, electronic throttle control, speed and rev limiters, etc. UpRev is probably the most popular option for the 370z. You could also tune by replacing the factory ECU with a aftermarket standalone engine management and tuning that, but that is typically more money and hassle than it's worth.
