There are several different ECU's/ROM files for the 370Z. So basically, we need to get some more 370Z's in our shop, and dump the ECU to our laptops. We then send this file to UpRev so their engineers can build a patch to allow reflashing to occur. Once a ROM type is in the library, than any Pro Tuner can tune that specific ECU. The 350Z for instance, has well over 20 different ECU types/ROM Files that all had to be patched back in the day.
