And then once all bolt ons are completed I want to take my car either to Austin, Tx to the UpRev headquarters. Or AWDtuning in Dallas because it's only about 4 hours away. Austin is 7 hours. But Henson performance in Alabama is only 4 hours away as well. So out of those 3 options who should I have tune my car? I know UpRev will be the best but they're $100 more expensive than AWD and Henson and 3 hours longer drive or trailer trip down there.

Can't help you with the selection, but for a NA car, nothing crazy or custom, I would imagine any competent tuner can do the tune. Also be sure to have them tweak throttle map for better response and torque map to speed up the shifts. Setting the fans to run a higher duty cycle at a lower water temp will help as well.

Like a valet map basically set at 1,500 rpm. So even with my foot to the floor WOT I will still only be at 1,500rpm until I release the cruise control button back into my race map and be able to launch perfectly every time at 1,500 rpm. Is that really not possible because of the automatic trans (torque converter) ?? Thanks in advance.

The problem is the soft throttle cut when brake is depressed -- apparently you can't switch that off at all on the 37VHR. (However, you have so much torque at your disposal, launching much above 2K will just get you spinning wheels anyway...)
The work around is to have a switch installed that can toggle off the brake lights (search -- apparently widely done for 350's and a few on here with 370's). That way you can stand on the brake and throttle together and let off the brake whenever you want.
Allegedly ECUtek has a launch control option, but it is not a widely used tuning package for the Z... ECUtek has had better luck with the FR-S/BRZ than the 370.

1. Race map (cooling fans come on sooner, rev limit raised to 7700rpm, shifts quicker)
2. Economy map (gas saving tune)
3. Valet map (possibly launch map, set at 1,500rpm and 20 mph) so that I can WOT as stated above and it only go to 1,500 rpm and then I can map switch to race map and launch at 1,500 perfectly every time instead of having to worry about keeping the perfect pressure on my gas pedal to maintain 1,500 it's not really a "launch control" but more of a helping hand lol or should I say helping foot to keep my car perfect at 1,500 rpm every time so I can switch maps and it'll release the RPMS and allow it to take off at 1,500 to 7,700 rpm into 2nd gear IF THIS IS POSSIBLE that's one of the main things I want. So please lmk.
4. Stock map
5. 2 step map (I'm told that with the rev limit set to 4,000rpm timing set to "00" at 3,600 and up, fuel comp to "125" at 3,600rpm and up, fuel cut / restore set to 100-200rpm difference (roughly about 3,800 rpm) it will pop flames out of the exhaust and "2 step" I know it's not a true 2 step it's more of a for show thing since its non catted and can pop flames).

Again, I don't think you can do launch control, but you can approximate it with a switch for the brake lights. As to the other maps, you can have different fueling and timing, but I don't know about the rev limiter... that might be global.
The 12's and up can start in 2nd (I think), but not older models.
Hope that helps
