I highly highly doubt this is a problem due to the incompetency of Stillen Engineers. Do you all think they just forgot how to tune cars all of the sudden?

If my new Sync Navigation fails in my new Raptor - do I call up and blame Microsoft or take it to my Ford dealer?

Stillen designed and sells this kit. They SHOULD HAVE done enough testing on different vehicles to catch any tuning related problems. This is 100% on Stillen - don't even try to place the blame with someone else.

Have you seen the other thread with the Stillen kit that doesn't work because uprev software is having issues with a certain ROM? That's Stillen's fault too?

I don't disagree that the software is part of the kit and therefore Stillen is at fault as it is being sold by them. I'm not trying to point any fingers, I'm trying to figure out, like everyone else, why this is going on.

I don't think Stillen is unable to tune for this kit, I think the variations from situation to situation are causing problems. (ie. Different ROMS) That's why everyone that is custom tuned has no issues...

There are definitely bugs to be ironed out and I'm glad Stillen has the resources to do so..

Careful there on that statement, mine is a custom tune and my ROM is all jacked up. But I can agree that uprev is having issues

There doesnt seem to be anyone on this forum or the g35/37 forum that has custom tuned the kit using the uprev software and gotten the same results that u have. Tell us the secret to tune it

Are u using the old pully or the new one? If you are using the new pully have u had a chance to dyno it?

There are bugs to be ironed out, but I don't think it's the variability of the ROM's. My car was tuned by Stillen on Stillen's dyno and they had my car for 3 weeks. If my rom was a problem with a canned tune, they should have been able to overcome that.

My car is now in it's 3rd week at Stillen for the seoncd round of tuning (6 weeks total). I'll update you guys when I get it back.

Good luck i hope they figure your car out. I called stillen yesterday and they said they will work on my tune after they figure out yours. Yay second in line

I have learned that there were differences in ROM's in the 350Z years so there could be ROM variances with the 370's. It could still be a possibility. That is kind of a long time for a company to tune the car, or is that just me?

This is why I'm holding off on this kit. I don't like this tuning dilemma. I realize this may not be Stillen's fault, but maybe they should have waited on the release of the kit rather than have unimpressed customers/buyers. With the exception of RCZ...

yeah, that is a good thing you did....let the testing/bugs kinks get worked out than make your decision to do so or not...i wanted to take my sedan to the next level and now testing my patience. I am hoping this well be worth it in the end.
