CIN Motorsports - UpRev Tune Results
I bit the bug and dropped off my 2007 G35 with the trusted folks at CIN (http://www.cintuning.com/) for a little tuning. First, my relevant mods are:
(1) Stillen airbox + K&N Filture + Stillen Z-tube
(2) Motordyne 5/16" plenum spacer
(3) Motordyne MREV2 lower plenum
(4) Motordyne TDX V2 exhaust
The car initially laid down peak numbers of 269HP/255TQ. Finished peak numbers were 285HP/267TQ, for a net of +16HP / + 13TQ. It's hard to see on the graph (I've attached it in PDF) the before and the after, but the gains are consistent pretty much across the entire powerband and the car feels really woken up, even just driving around town at part-throttle. I asked Ben to send me a data file if he has one - I tried to scan this using our PDF converter at work and it doesn't show up great, and then I managed to spill some liquids on the actual dyno chart later in the day so all hope is lost.
Also, I'd like to say that the customer service at CIN is absolutely fantastic. First, I knew I was planning on putting HFCs on the car at some point so I figured I'd wait until I was done with all the bolt-on mods before I got a tune. CIN/Ben basically just said, we can tune it now, and we'll re-tune it again for free once you get the HFCs.... I think that kind of offer is a pretty rare thing these days. Second, I was trying to figure out a weekend where I could drop the car off since it's kind of hard for me to arrange alternate transportation right now... and Ben let me drop the car off at the shop, drove me down to my office, and then picked me up from my office when the car was done. I mean, you couldn't ask for more from these guys and I wouldn't dare to . All in all was a great experience, and I'm very happy with the car right now (though not as much with my rear tires which, lacking some tread, break loose much too easy) and can't wait to get some more time with it.
The one weird thing that did pop up, is that there is some disconnect between my tach and what RPMs the ECU is seeing - Ben said that all of my runs were to redline, but if you look at the dyno, what should be 7000 rpms is coming up as 6100ish. Has anyone seen that happen before?
Anyway, would definitely recommend anyone in the Charlotte-ish area to check out CIN if you're unfamiliar with their work.

$500. A very well spent $500 
. That includes the license and the dyno time (but note, that just means I have the license, I don't have the Cipher cable, and they do not provide all the different maps that you can do on Osiris, I know that some people have like a valet map, a "gas-saver" map, and then separate maps for 93 and 91 octane).
