Second question what is up with tuning in these cars, Im use to a tune giving 20+hp and even better torque. Do these cars really only pick up about 6hp?
remember Im a noob at this, Ive got my dunce cap on  |
It's not a Mustang, so you're not going to see big gains from just a tune. Spending $3k on test pipes, cat-backs, plenum, and intake is going to net you maybe like 40hp where on a 5.0 cheap/easy bolt-ons get you a lot more power for the $$. That's just the nature of the beast.
That isn't to say it isn't worth doing, just don't expect to win any drag races; this car shines in its cornering and overall driving experience rather than straight-up power. I like it better than my old Mustang overall but I definitely miss all the cheap mods at AmericanMuscle.com, CJ Pony Parts, etc etc etc...
Mustangs have possibly the best aftermarket support on the planet. The Z is OK, better than most even, but it'll cost you.
