Damn, More than just tuning, all the prices for aftermarket parts on these cars are stupid high IMO. But as long as everyone blindly pays the high prices without asking why, it'll never change

/rant lol

 

Post-tune driving test results?

 

exactly

 

lol I know same owners, so maybe not wise to tell, but I said something like that over on MY350 and almost immediately had posts deleted and received 2 infractions

Vendors rule the world, no wonder prices are so high, we're not even allowed to tell people about deals. Kind of defeats a big part of helping people on forums, doesn't it?

My350 lost a lot of my respect, I had it held high for technical infomration, etc. Now I question it all.

 

I've only used one ECU tune. I have to DL the 87 octane tune with the CAI. Additional cost is like $5 for that specific tune. I already have 91 and 93 octane tunes if I want to try them.

I've used the zero T management tune and the 25% Although w/ the TM 100% off it didn't shift that hard ( I never really got on it), I dialed it bac to 25% (75% on) for now. WOT or near WOT shifts are pretty crisp at this level. I should try to 50% off just to see. I'm supposed to be be able to bark 1-2 and 2-3 shifts but I don't know with the 275s out back..

This basic tuner has really woke up the car's responsiveness. Shifts harder and it holds the upshift a bit longer. Along with the rev limiter being upped.

I can't imagine how much better this car could be with long tube headers and a real dyno tune. Supposed to be another 25+ hp there on top of what I just gained.

Considering some 1.85 ratio rockers vs the stock 1.7s. Easier way to get more cam lift and duration w/o pulling the heads to do a cam swap. (you have to pull the heads for a cam swap on this particular motor). Should be another 15-20hp there too.

 

I've always noticed how domestic modifications are available for everyone from the budget minded to break the bank. I wanted to be part of that but never had a good car to suit me until now.

 

great review Jeff, sounds like an incredible difference for the money especially.

 

Maybe I'm jaded a bit. But I'm coming fron the "untunable" 2003 old ecu G35. Although I did send my ecu to Technosquare for a tune JUST before they stopped offering that service. I know and undersand the frustration from not being able to have any reasonable tuning options.
