Was your Uprev dyno tuned or did they send u the maps based on your mods? How about adjustable cam sprockets?

Yep, plus gears (3.69 at least). No matter brand cams you buy, they will sacrfice low and midrange power for upper rpm breathing. It's just the nature of aftermarket cams and you can't get around it. Loosing 20whp/20wtq below 5000rpms will have much more signficant effect on 1/4 mile acceleration than adding 50whp/wtq from 6000-7200rpms.

yeah, shorter final drive gearing will put you in your "sweet spot" more of the time and will get you there quicker. feel's like a whole new car. the factory 5AT 3.3 gears are nice and tall for a smooth luxurious ride BUT the 3.7 really rips, plus it's even shorter than the OEM 6MT 3.5 gears. the VB upgrade makes ur shifts harder/quicker/more aggressive, so you'll really get your money's worth out of the shorter FD gears.

road tuned is when they tune the car while you are driving it. I have done it to a BNR34 Vspec. It is so much better than a off the shelf tune

NO!!! It requires two people, safer that way. Unless you know what your doing dont even try, unless you want to buy a new engine. You cant be brian ( Paul Walker) from fast and the furious trying to tune it on your own. I'm Not trying to put you down, just looking out for you and your ride.

Yes I made a fast and the furious referance. lol

I got a DE with Stillen CAI, Headers, Z-tube, MD 5/16 Spacer, MD, ART Pipes, Stillen catback, Stillen Pulleys, Transgo Valve body, JWT S2 Camshafts, springs, valves and retainers. I also have an Osiris street tune. Putting down right around 330 HP and revving @ 7500 rpm. It's verry settle when cruising but super violent when pushing it to the limit. Valve body and some wide rear tires are def required. My car pulls really hard throughout the Rpm. Love the setup.
