How would one go about tuning these cars (parameters such as fuel, air and timing) once modifications are installed. For example with my 5.0 I installed a intake manifold, throttle body, cold air, long tube headers, high flow cats, performance mufflers and rear end gears. Once all this was installed all I had to do was plug in a SCT tuner to the ODBII port and load a custom email tune that was sent to me from my tuner and I was good to go
Is this similar for the 370's, are there tuners out there that send a tune based on your mods and you just plug a flash device into the port and load the new tables? If so what is the flash tool most commonly used?
I need some clarification on this as soon as possible please. I would also appreciate any recommended tuners and or suppliers for aftermarket parts. I also dont care if people feel that certain mods dont need tuning. I'm very picky and will tune no matter what mods are installed. Any help is greatly appreciated. I want to start my build ASAP but need some direction first.
Thanks

I came from an 06 stang GT and I gotta say youre gonna love the Z 10x better! However, your first post is almost the exact same as mine was when I made the switch, and I have unfortunately found that the Z world is not fortunate enough to have an americanmuscle.com style source that offers parts and free tunes for life on the good ol sct
Basically, after you finish all your breather mods (CAI,Exhaust,HFC, and manifold) then you have to take it in to a specialist tuner to get it done. and pay money for it! I know it sucks when SCT was so freakin easy and free. These Z guys dont know what theyre missin on that deal. At any rate, the Z is a different animal, much more refined. You will love it!
From what I have read: GTM is the way to go on forced induction, from super to turbo (twin superchargers looks sick), on the NA side though look to stillen/fast intentions/Z1 to get what you need.
Waitin to see your build!
