I will post dyno sheets once we get the tune finished and find the time to dyno, but that probably won't be until the end of the summer. There is also a slow adoption with the forced induction crowd - people are understandably hesitant to test out new software on their TT or SC setup.

UpRev is probably the most popular tune for the 370Z. It has been around for a number of years, but it can't do quite everything that EcuTek can (like VVEL adjustments). FWIW, my tuner uses both and claims that EcuTek > UpRev.

Ok so, you don't have any direct experience or insight on the product either? Just from what you heard or other threads. I'm looking for personal experience or hard data to compare the two. I can't seem to find a solid answer. I'm not going to just follow the leader.

I don't want to use UpRev's switchable maps via the cruise control button.

I did see a post for a EcuTek RaceRom that produced 15-20 hp with the below mods;

HKS Intakes and muffler delete.

The reflash just changed;

1. Raised Rev Limiter
2. Speed Limiter Removed
3. Fuel Map Changes
4. Using EcuTek's RaceRom Ignition Timing Control

The Orisis ECU changes;

•Up to 5 Maps on cruise control equipped vehicles < NOT COOL
•Idle RPM
•Speed Limiter
•Electronic Throttle Control to achieve Wide Open Throttle at all speeds.
•Rev Limiter
•DTC disable
•AFR Targets
•Fuel Compensation
•Ignition Timing Advance
•Cam Phasing for equipped vehicles.

The Mine's VX Rom changes;

Electronic throttle data has been changed
CVTC (Continuous Valve Timing Control) has been changed
Speed Limiter Control has been changed
Rev limiter has been increased from 6600rpm to 7000rpm
Fuel map has been changed
Injection and ignition timing has been reset
Learning and emission control has been retained
Fuel economy and throttle response have been increased

Again I'm looking for numbers and personal experiences with any ECU.
