Z1 Tuning package
 

I'm relatively new to the tuning world with aftermarket tunes. I see Z1 just released some new Ecutek tuning packages. My question is, is this something worth the $750 bill associated with it, or would it be more advantageous pricewise to have a remote tune performed? Currently I'm only running with a Stillen air intake and FI cat back resonated exhaust. I'd be looking at the Level 1 tune. I know this won't blow HP out of the water and shouldn't expect crazy gains, but how would this tune compare to others? Any Info?

I would recommend a remote tune by the other big Ecutek tuners. Eugene turkov, SpecialtyZ, etc.

Personally wasn't impressed by the tune quality of Z1's tunes on local vehicles.

Z1 tune results
 

I cannot give info on a Z1 tune package for our Z34. However, I had one done on my Z33. Car had: intake system,plenum spacer, Z1 hi flo cats, Nismo S Tune exhaust, cooler plugs, inside of plenum polished/ported. Car was done onsite at Z1 along with dyno tune. Car is a AT. tuning included work to crisp up shifts etc.
Objective was mid range performance. I later added a TransGo to the tranny.
Results, do not expect a tire burning dragon. The car just seemed "lighter",more responsive.Still does. A bis factor many overlook is weight. Keep the car light as possible. Lighter wheels,uneeded junk in the car etc. This stuff will make a difference in performance.
The price I paid for the final results? Too high.

:iagree: I'm using Eugene for my remote tuning. I'd go with Seb if I were boosted.

I can't speak to the quality of their tunes specifically, but I have gradually moved away from supporting Z1 based on the quality of their products and their customer service.

What about admin?

:stirthepot: :icon18:

Thanks for the info. I will have to check them out.

What got me thinking of it was an email announcing the new tune package from Z1 and am motivated to get a tune to help out with freeing up some power.

Dont bother until you’re willing to commit to at least an HFC
