In other words, if something sucks, I think we should all say so and warn others, tell them what the deficiencies are, etc. I just don't think it's necessary or helpful to exaggerate those deficiencies is all. (The zero testing claim, for example, would be what I consider to be an exaggeration.)

Its all good we are on the same page I posted that without seeing your last post #136

Well, I have a rule of thumb when it comes to internet debates. I look at who I'm considering getting into a debate with. If I know the guy and know him to be a reasonable person, I have no qualms about starting the debate because I figure we'll either end up on the same page, or at worst we'll respectfully agree to disagree with one another. On the other hand, if I don't know the guy, or worse yet know him to be a douche, I'll just keep my mouth shut and walk away, because it's not worth the aggravation. Well okay, I've been known to engage a few douchebags every now and then just to tear them a new one. But I usually go by these guidelines.

Tony, I'm a little late in saying this, but I am very impressed by the midrange gains. Good job buddy!

earwicker7 · 03-25-2010, 11:17 PM

As someone who is even more on the fence about getting a tune post-installation after seeing no gains in HP/torque, I'm hoping someone can help me figure this out.

How is tweaking the tune making things safer?

I really originally wanted to get a tune, but if I'm not seeing much of a gain at the risk of losing my warranty, I kind of need some convincing.

Because regardless of what kind of gains you might get from a tune (or lack thereof), a tune will correct your AFR, which will most likely be out of whack after you make a substantial number of mods to your intake and exhaust. Specifically, we've seen the AFR go lean, which means too much air, not enough fuel. That can cause damage to your engine. In extreme cases, it can even make your engine do a grenade impression.

You will not void your warranty. You will have the control (yourself) to flash the ECU back to stock if you ever need to go in to the dealer.

wow, potential CAI from FI... think im putting off the G3 puchase just a bit longer.... Hope they are similar in length, since shorties dont seem to put up good numbers (hint hint Tony) lol

bejan · 03-26-2010, 12:54 AM

Tony knows cars and he's going to build the best intake for the Nissan 370z to date. As of now, aftermarket CAI's only lead to some power past 7000 RPMs. The stock intakes are good enough for now. When Tony comes out with his Fast Intentions intake, I know and trust that it will be better than the stock intake and produce worth while gains! We just have to wait till then...

209Z · 03-26-2010, 12:55 AM

so there will be a FI intake? =] just wondering cuz I will hold off on injen if its true

G37Sam · 03-26-2010, 10:03 AM

Tony I have a feeling with 93 octane I could see better gains after the tune?
