Nissan 370Z Forum  

Just got an Ecutek tune!

Ignoring the power numbers, did the power increase warrant the $800 + for the tune? You feel it was worth it?

Don't forget - you get a little more than just the increase in power.
Flat foot shifting
Launch Control
Traction Control (vastly improved over OEM)
Multiple maps (like a valet map)..though OP did not opt for this
knock warning

And those are just the highlights for an NA Z.. there are some nice additional features for boosted cars too.

OP - mustang dynos are known to be heartbreakers. If you want to see the goal numbers, find a dynojet on a cold day at sea level.

When I got tuned at JTRAN I had asked him about his mustang dyno.. he said it was vastly superior in terms of what you could do with it as a tuning tool compared to the dynojet... but eventually he had to sell it and get a dynojet because people were so disappointed with the numbers from it that he was losing business.
