A tune is always helpful. You will get the max possible power out of your upgrades.

It's worth it on a stock car, so yes. You don't just get extra power from a tune, there's also a few other things that are worth getting in my opinion.

Do all the mods you plan on doing first, and then tune after everything is done. That way you only have to pay once.

It depends how much you like your warranty... As much as everyone says you can reset your tune to a factory tune... I you go in with a blown motor and go... Yeah, it just blew... They're going to sit at corporate while you car is plugged into the dealer's computer and look at all the info on your ECU and go fuckin hell, why was the ECU JUST RESET??? And you'll be out $4-8k on an engine...

Your ECU is AMAZING at figuring a tune out... If you leave your mods on for long enough a tune will get you 5-7hp and 10 pounds of tq MAYBE...

The last person I know who got a tune had G3's HFC's, and CBE, the tune have him 4hp and 7ft lbs of tq... Not worth the $700 IMO with your warranty void

Not all tuners are created equal. Take it to someone who knows what they are doing.

The only speculation is on engine price, the reason why I wrote $4-8k is because on the forum you can get an engine for about $3-4k, and the dealer charges $8k (I know someone who JUST had theirs replaced)

And I KNOW Nissan Corporate taps into your ECU if your engine is blown because I know someone at corporate who confirmed this for me, and my friend worked at a Nissan dealer in Houston, and he said for a complete engine where we bill Nissan over 10 grand, they won't just pay out until they KNOW it was a faulty engine... He said that NC usually sends out a master mechanic as well...
(My guy at corporate said there are a few in the larger states, they sent one out to diagnose my braking issue with my Maxima, and the guy said he lived IN Houston... Car was totaled before the brakes were fixed)

Were the before and after dynos done on the same day and on the same dyno? If not, comparing dyno numbers is pointless.

That's crazy. Something's not right.

I got 23 RWHP from my tune and that's after a baseline dyno with my mods installed. Same day, etc...
