No, not all highly reputable tuners would do all the time. My shop missed it and they are very good. Just have to either extend the map range or disable a setting.

Nobody is perfect. I would rather have a small fixable issue versus a catostrophic failure.

oh nice you've had no problems for 2 years with Stillen headers and HFC?:tup:
I guess u have a good custom tune? What HFCs you using?

I'm curious, wouldn't the Stillen base tune have included this tweak already? Unless, one would custom tune from scratch, that is. I'm asking coz I wanna custom tune "on top of " their (unlocked) base tune.
And anybody know why does our Z have a MAP when it uses MAF to meter air?

The Stillen tune is locked so you can not start with their tune as a base.

My god man PLEASE tell me your not on their tune ! An I have no clue if their base tune has that tweek, I ran their tune for 1.5 days and then went custom tune. I had zero plans on driving the car on their tune. The can tune is HORRIABLE, I have said it before and will say it again I made a WHOPPING 42 WHP with the SC and their tune, Custom tune netted me 112 WHP gain.

Yea what he said! Vince over at r/t tuning got me 50 more at the wheel over the can tune. Sure it negates the warranty but I personally felt it was worth it

Sure one can, and I'm going to. :driving:
I'll use their base tune as a starting point for custom tune rather than have it tuned from scratch. I gotta be able to drive on the base tune to the tuner since I shall install the kit at home.
Stillen told me already they can provide me with a base tune plus tuning cable ($200).

ANMVQ 10-23-2014 02:08 PM

Yea but their tune is still locked, When I had mine done I drove to the tune on the can tune like you and my tuner loaded a 370Z Stillen kit tune to my car for a starting point.

V1H 10-23-2014 03:47 PM

Ah yes u are right. I didn't notice the unlocking option is only available to outside US customers.

Cheers

Well dropped the car off at Stillen and now we play the waiting game
I guess they are super busy and wont see the car till a few weeks

ANMVQ 10-24-2014 03:22 PM

Man cant believe you have to wait that long, no other tuners in CA?

Dont want to deal with voiding warranty especially since they are the ones that installed and tuned , i hope its just the tune thats giving the car problems and not something else

From what i heard mid November , hopefully they can squeeze it in and check it out even bit by bit on days they arent that busy so i can get the car back sooner
Sucks for me but what ya gonna do as I already paid so i feel my car its not a priority :bs:

The STILLEN Tunes have been reworked and are now regionally done so most customers have been getting good power out of it. There are still variants with each ECU and car that make it unable to be 100% ideal for every car without dyno tuning.

Every customer is a priority. We have customers who have not paid waiting until mid November to have work done. We are simply very booked up and are working as fast as we can while maintaining quality work. I will stay on top of it and try and get your Z back to you as quickly as possible.

OK so Mark at Stillen was able to get my car looked at and worked on faster than what they originally told me
I guess the car rejected some parts of the tune and it also needed a different radiator cap
Man oh man does the car feel different ,right off the bat the low RPM felt way better and the car pulls all the way thru and the car idles better
Thanks again Mark
