Vichtz · 05-21-2012, 02:59 PM

Ok so I just bought an 09 370z Saturday. Being the kind of guy I am, F.I. exhaust and stillen G3 intake are in the mail. I had an 06 mustang GT before this, which had a great community of tuners that sent reflash files for those of us too dumb to know where the dyno guys were at. Quick plug into the obd2 with the sctsf3 after any bolt on mods and you were set. however, I feel the Z is a much more luxurious vehicle and will receive special attention. I have never done a dyno tune before, So do I NEEd to get one? will I ruin anything with these 2 minor bolt-ons without a tune? I MIGHT put HFC's on later, but this is probably the extent of my engine modifications. I'm just new to this whole thing and am looking for advice. I live in college station TX, so if there is anyone around here yall know about that would be great information to have. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I appreciate any advice, I'm new to the Z world haha.
