Stillen Canned Tune

I don't get it when guys spend 10K to go FI then cheap out on the tune to actually tie it all together and make it worth it. Safer, stronger

Safer, stronger and better running.

Because good tuners are hard to find. That is why I tuned my last car myself.

Wow...its good to see this thread come alive. ......Lol

Gunz.....I hear what you're saying...if it were that simple out here it wouldn't be a question....unfortunately like Bulletz pointed out....Good tuners are hard to find....out here we have a company that recently brought a Dynojet to the island.....they're good people that saw a business opportunity but don't know too much about the Z's.....they're more old school muscle car guys.....All of them retired Vets and one of them used to work out in Cali at Pep Boyz.....

despite having the Dyno as a tune their non experience with Z's makes me weary.....the topping on the cake is that we have NO CERTIFIED PRO TUNERS here. This has left me asking about the Can tunes as this is what I have to deal with until a friend of mine who tunes comes back home for vacation in November. ....the can tune is a lot safer in my situation...there's no way I'm gonna just have anyone try and tune this thing......

On another note asking about clarification on the Canned Tune due to what I've read on this thread....

Stillen custom tune

In this thread Mark from Stillen comes out talking about updated canned tunes....trying to get some confirmation from others whether their updated canned tunes were any improvement and whether anyone is running on Stillen's updated "Aggressive" map using 91 octane as Stillen has cautioned that some cars run better on their updated "Aggressive" map but that due to its advanced timing it may cause pinging.

I run Stillen's canned HFC map -> That is probably what you are calling 'aggressive'. I run 93 octane.
I was traveling & worried about running 91 octane. When I was stock, running 91 would dramatically effect performance.
When I filled up with 91 on my trip (had only 1/6 tank of 93 in there) --> I swear the Z ran BETTER.
I know this is a late post to your question, but I think Stillen tunes them for 91 octane.
That experience has got me thinking hard about a custom tune.
