No, not all highly reputable tuners would do all the time. My shop missed it and they are very good. Just have to either extend the map range or disable

Nobody is perfect. I would rather have a small fixable issue versus a catostrophic failure.

I guess u have a good custom tune? What HFCs you using? I'm curious, wouldn't the Stillen base tune have included this tweak already? Unless, one would custom tune from scratch, that is. I'm asking coz I wanna custom tune "on top of " their (unlocked) base tune. And anybody know why does our Z have a MAP when it uses MAF to meter air? Last edited by V1H; 10-22-2014 at 04:49 PM. |

Yea what he said! Vince over at r/t tuning got me 50 more at the wheel over the can tune. Sure it negates the warranty but I personally felt it was worth it

I'll use their base tune as a starting point for custom tune rather than have it tuned from scratch. I gotta be able to drive on the base tune to the tuner since I shall install the kit at home. Stillen told me already they can provide me with a base tune plus tuning cable ($200). |

Yea but their tune is still locked, When I had mine done I drove to the tune on the can tune like you and my tuner loaded a 370Z Stillen kit tune to my car for a starting point.

OK so Mark at Stillen was able to get my car looked at and worked on faster than what they originally told me
I guess the car rejected some parts of the tune and it also needed a different radiator cap Man oh man does the car feel different ,right off the bat the low RPM felt way better and the car pulls all the way thru and the car idles better Thanks again Mark
