Import Tuner 370Z Tuning Article

Pretty happy with my Stillen cat back and high flow cats. This article just supports the fact that they're the best bang for the buck in terms of gains.

Let the discussion begin!

I had that very same setup but Cobb tuned, it was pretty damn quick, gotta admit, the Z definitely responds to NA mods for sure, while I cant say much for the supercharger from what i've read of it, they do make one effin' quality exhaust.

Great find, thanks for posting the article!

I'm tempted to look into the tuning as my next mod.

Great article. Was surprising to see the intakes didn't net the gains that most claim. I've seen claims of +18 HP with the intakes.

i have the same exact mods and am right at 300whp... ****!

It kind of pisses me off my numbers are so low. I want to get on another dyno and see if it's the same, because it's getting really old seeing handfuls of cars putting down 320+whp with the same mods.

They installed the intakes after the HFCs and CBE. So the respective gain would be less. It would be interesting if they took it apart, did the intakes first, and then installed the exhaust components.

Given that I have the exhaust and HFCs already, I'm reluctant to add the GenIIIs as I don't want to cut the bulkhead for installation. Do you guys think a tune would still net me some advantage without the intake? I'm thinking 'yes'.

To be expected. Intakes have been proven before this article came out that if you already have exhaust mods you won't see much gains. Thats why some swear by just going with the K&N replacement filter for the stock air box; much cheaper, sleeper look, and about the same gains.

Jordo!

I'd say a 10% -12% gain from those mods over baseline is more realistic. What did you baseline at?
