Depends on what type of tune it is. Some will use the software and tune it for you, others you have to get the software to do it. Correct me if I am wrong, but i believe the most common type for the Z us upRev and there you have to have someone with the license for it in order to do it.

Did you get to choose maps? Like valet mode, or economy? I'm looking for something more dynamic than just a standard tune.

I like the sound. I could go elsewhere but I have heard the FI HFC and CBExhaust working great, and I figured might as well get all from one manufacturer. Heck, I might even wear a promo sticker here and there if they want to. The car will be a track car at some point anyway

Yeah, I was thinking of UpRev but I don't know if MKC has the license or not to do it or if I have to purchase it for them to be able to do it. I guess I will have to give them a call when time time comes to find out pricing for the tune. Unless someone else could enlighten me more about this subject.

They do have their UpRev license. Only one in KC area. The nearest one other than them in just outside STL.

Hey, I don't know if anyone use's Griot's products on their Z, but Advance Auto is discontinuing Griot's spray wax, along with some other Griot's products. My store had 2 gallon containers of the spray wax for $15.35, I bought one and the other was still there as of last night. The added bonus: at my store, it's in the 50% off bin, so you can get the gallon for about $8. I'm at the store @ K7 & Monticello in Shawnee. If someone wants it, PM me ASAP & I'll hide it for you.

Not all will agree but this is tempting even though PDK. I'd love a sport/convertible again.

Your probably looking at a 911 though. There are some tempting 911 turbos out there but of course older.

How fast do you guys think FI Res TP will go on the WTS thread? I really am thinking about ditching it and going for just straight TP. I find my exhaust sound (as some of you heard that one FF) too quiet. It's nice when you step on it but I kinda want it a bit louder. Not sure if changing to regular TP will change that at all.

I don't think moving to TP's are gonna solve the problem. Think you need a new exhaust. But changing to TP's is worth a try and the cheapest way to go.

I think it depends on the price. I would think the volume would increase on a straight TP along with a different sound. It depends on how restrictive the FI Res TP was and I have not heard a with and without example so I don't know for sure.
