I'm heading to a local shop when i come back from my operation with the army to get a tune for my nitrous set up. They never worked on the VQ37 and agree'd to give me a huge discount.

Personally i think its alot safer to go with a shop that hasnt had much expeirence then a shop that has but gives u a base tune that isnt set for car specifically. Yes its a 370z but all cars are different. My buddy that had a tune on his cobalt was perfect for his car but even with the same identical mods as him the tune wasnt good on my car. Once again im not bashing stillen or any one, just stating my opinion on the topic.
Unless a shop has a lot of experience with UpRev's reflashing software and with the VQ37, it will be somewhat risky. There's only three Uprev authorized shops in your country and I'm not sure which ones have experience with the VQ. Not sure Cobb's software is capable of handling aftermarket forced induction and there's only two authorized shops in Canada. Other than UpRev and Cobb (and Technosquare in So Cal), who has cracked the VQ37's ECU necessary to tune it in the first place?
