Are there chips?
 

One of my friends chipped his 335i and now its a m3 killer. Are there any chips for the 370z that gives a decent boost?

After adding bolt ons you can get your ECU flashed. Uprev is the most common tune.

The 335i gains so much from a tune(chip) because it has a factory-tubo. with our cars you aren't going to see huge gains. An intake, hfc, or cat-back exhaust will give you decent gains.

So there aren't really "chips" for our cars? Cause
I got the fi cbe and the stillen gen3 intakes.. Im just waiting for them to come.. Right when i get it im going too to Uprev to get the tune. But i was wonderin if they just had chips to get a little more gains.

Before I launch into an explanation--do you understand what a chip does?


Because there would be no reason to get a tune and a "chip"

Doesn't a chip mess with your Your cpu and tell it when to do everything? Like boost gains and all.. Yeah which one do you prefer more a chip or a tune?

A "chip" has a generic tune in it. Not the best idea since every car is going to be different.

"tuning" a car means you access the computer for the car via an aftermarket controller. With that you change parameters like timing, amount of fuel, rev limiter, etc...This is most commonly done on a dyno. You can do it on the road, but isn't as safe and can take a lot longer since you have to drive the car to do it.
