Im a noob here. Im looking for some help with my Z. It ran 14.25 in a 1/4 mile bone stock! Ive added some stuff and cant seem to get better than a 14.55. I think I need to tune my ECU. I dont know what the best bang for my buck would be. ALL help is appreciated.

seen good results online with the UPREV tune, make sure you get a before and after tune if you go. If you have the money, you might want to add HFC or resonated pipes before your tune.

pop charger with or w/o Z tube. Z tube is a cheap upgrade if you dont have it.

here's one for sell

Those times sound about right for what you have. The time difference are probably coming from your launch. What times are you looking to hit? How much horse power you trying to gain?

I talked to a guy at Uparev named Richard. he was pretty informative, he said that HFC are a waste of money no matter which brand you buy. The only thing is its roughly $800 to tune including 2 hours dyno timebut the software he uses can control the entire system not just the basics. im gonna get some test pipes and make a run up there ASAP. Im not looking for crazy hp i just want a fine tuned machine. I had great reaction times and launched better than before and managed to lose 3/10 of a second so im pretty pissed about it.
