Ohh no, its another what to ask for before tuning thread

So I am going to be getting my tune done by Z1 on Jan 4th

. I have done a lot of research on what to ask for when getting a tune. I was hoping for a few more suggestions.

I have so far:

Throttle response
Different maps - valet, performance, economy, etc....
Fan control for cooling
speed limiter taken off
turn off rear o2's so I dont get CEL
MORE POWER!!!!

I just want to see if I may have missed anything.

ANMVQ · 12-26-2013, 11:06 AM

UM why are you turning off the Rear O2's? I rean HFC's ,cat back and intakes and had no CEL's. Heck I ran 457WHP SC and had no CEL's.
I know up here if you turn those of you WILL not pass state inspection? CEL for what? Everything else seems right tho.

mike12002us · 12-26-2013, 12:11 PM

I am putting on test pipes and I dont want the CEL coming up, not event he chance of it. I live in SC and we dont have inspections. That is why I need the rear o2 sensors taken care of.

I know it has been said before but the smell and LOUDNESS of TP's do not make sense for like 3 WHP? HFC's and TPs performance wise are so close even if I didn't have to pass smog I wouldn't go TPS just for the noise and smell. But to each their own ,what makes the world turn

.

The only TP's I would ever put on my car again are ART pipes.

Unless you have a super sensitive nose, TP's are not that bad. I've never had one person say anything about any smell. Sure it's there, butracecarenocare.

Do HFC have a significantly less of a fume smell than TP's? My TP's get annoying at times with smell and sound.

That's the smell of horsepower.

NEEZMO · 12-30-2013, 03:17 PM

Well its only maybe a 2hp decrease in hp with HFC. I'm debating on swapping out my berk tp's for berk hfc. Just because of loud rasp and smell.

reldas · 12-31-2013, 02:24 AM

get F.I resonated test pipes. i am about to change to those from my stillen HFCs

NEEZMO · 12-31-2013, 08:15 AM

Oh why is that? Anything wrong with those HFC's?

synolimit · 12-31-2013, 05:13 PM

Get art pipes. More HP than test pipes or hfc and no rasp. I prefer the smell of no cats, hate the smell of exhaust after it's been through a cat.

jbakes727 · 01-20-2014, 05:54 PM

Some people really don't mind tp's. Also usually hfc's are more expensive. The way I see it you can get more WHP for less $$$.

Riptide67 · 02-27-2014, 03:19 PM

I had TP on my 350Z and hated them. I had ARTS on my 370Z and loved them. I just went FI LTH....and sweet baby Jesus, the awesome arrived.
