2010 7AT Uprev Tuned @ Stillen - 10.22.10

Fly1 Motorsports · 10-22-2010, 10:56 PM

Hey Guys,

As the title says, I got my Z Uprev tuned by Aaron @ Stillen today on their Dynojet. They were my third choice after Technosquare and HB Speed - but became my first choice quickly. I tried getting an appointment w/ Technosquare for a few weeks, but after being given the run around and dealing w/ the rudest receptionist of all time - I decided to take my business elsewhere. I tried contacting HB Speed, but apparently they were bought out by COBB...and are retrofitting the shop to become COBB Socal. Thus, I booked an appointment at Stillen as they're only 10 minutes from my house; and were reasonably priced ($550).

The performance mods on my 7AT are just some basic bolt-ons:

-F.I. TDX CBE 18" resonated CF mufflers
-F.I. Resonated HFCs
-Injen CAI

As I'm in SoCal, I was limited to 91 octane (Shell V-Power pump gas). Weather was low 70s and a bit humid (was drizzling earlier in the day).

Overall gains (pretty consistent through the RPM Band):

+8.87 HP
+9.66 TQ

A/F Ratio was running pretty lean (13.7) on the first run, so Aaron brought that down to just under 13 to be in a safer range. I would have loved to have gained 15+ HP, but all things considered, I'm happy with the gains. As you can see from the chart below, Stillen's Dynojet runs a bit more conservative than others out there.

All in all, a good day w/ the 370!

Nice...that about all we can hope for with a tune. What's up with Technosquare?...I've been meaning to go back for another reflash...I heard Tadashi was in Japan last month..Do you know why they have been hard to get a hold of and get an appointment? The secretary is a trip huh? Sometimes she is cool and sometimes she is tripz out on customers and seems totay rude.

Ya - don't like to bad mouth folks, but they definitely need to get their act together if they wanna stay in business. I was initially told Tadashi was in Japan, but called one time last week and he was there. He was nice enough, but when I called back to schedule, the crazy secretary wouldn't even take a MSG or didn't know what day or time Tadashi would be back. She said to just keep calling back! Sorry - but there are too many tuners out there to deal w/ such ridiculous customer service.

Anyhoo...yup, definitely satisfied w/ the tune...pretty much what I realistically expected.

cool! ill keep them in mind if/when i get a tune. Did you consider Specialty Z?

Fly1 Motorsports · 10-23-2010, 11:38 AM

Ya - they're an Uprev Tuner as well, I believe, but ultimately it came down to convenience due to how close Stillen is to me.

Oh - Sammy @ Stillen mentioned that he just rec'd an email from Uprev saying that a new version of their software is on the horizon. He said it will allow tuners to be more efficient, thus spend more time tweaking than they currently do. Of course, this was after my seasion was done

Just an FYI...may be worth waiting for...

that pic of the rim all distorted in pretty neat...

Nice to hear everything went well, and your pretty happy with the results.

I'm looking to do the same in the near future as we do have similar mods. I'm hoping for similar results.

Thanks Trip. Looking forward to seeing your results as well...

That price isnt bad either. But I wonder if buying a tuner would be better?

Diocletian · 10-27-2010, 10:06 PM

Huh? You're only getting 294WHP with those mods and a tune on a dynojet? I got 300WHP on a Mustang dyno with those exact mods. You might want to check for an exhaust leak.

No exhaust leaks here. You may be running higher octane gas in FL than us Cali folk. Every Dyno is different too...so I'm not as concerned with the HP # - rather the delta from the first run to final run. How much did the tune help you pick up?

Diocletian · 10-28-2010, 12:57 AM

Ah you're using 91 octane then. The difference would be roughly 6WHP.

ROC1ROB · 10-31-2010, 10:30 AM

Yeah I was going to say Stillen messed up your rim by the looks of the picture but....... Nice gains at the 5K range!!! I love how people get all worked up about peak HP/TQ numbers. Enjoy your ride!

Sorry the gain of horse power is inside of of the tolerance of the measeurment equipment +- 15 %
so press the break on the customers car a little bit ..first curve
and now we will release the break and we have the plus for the add ons
have a nice day :-)
a liite bit power plus is the copy of of nissmo map file :-)
sorry guys
