It's weird how many places offer this tune for $500 but Hill's garage decide to charge $670.
Do you guys wanna do like a group so they could lower the damn price? I mean you guys are looking to get your cars tune too correct? |

Haha I'm done with power mods, decided against HFC's and just sticking to intake + exhaust + tune. Plan is to save up for another toy that has an LS7 and make the Z the 'beater' car.

I'll throw in my 2 cents since I did get my Z uprev'd at Hills.
Expensive - yes. Worth it - YES. You can take a look my list of mods in my sig line below; they're all bolt ons as well. Everybody suggested I get tuned since I swapped out the intakes and replaced the entire exhaust system. Apparently this was enough to make a difference. What will Hills do? Put your Z on a dyno, run it up to 4th gear and 7,500 rpms, take readings, bring it back down to idle, make some adjustments, repeat until satisfied. Here are some pics from my tune. What are they doing? Simplest terms - flashing the brain. Apparently the Z has about 15 different "driving modes". "It" determines what mode it wants to use based upon how you drive. What does the tune do? Gets rid of about 12 of them, and basically locks your Z in "performance" mode. So regardless of how you are driving, she's ready to respond. Frank got about 20 extra horses for me. I love it!!! hth

I understand the benefits of the tune. My only problem was that you can get a relatively similar quality tune for a lot less at places other than Hills Garage.

It's best to get all your bolt on power mods installed before getting a tune so you can be done with it and call it a day. You don't want to drop the money on a tune for CBE+HFC only to need to redo it a couple months later if you decide to get intakes.
