Thanks for all the advice and quick responses. The car is great so far. I'm not gonna say i don't miss the pull the 'stang had off the line, but the high-end pulls in the Z are to die for! So I don't need a tune but it would help milk the power. I have never done anything like this, who do I talk to after I get the parts installed? I can easily make it up to houston or stop by austin on my way to san antonio, so what are the best places to go between the 2? Obviously this is for the TX people haha.

Also, welcome to the SEC. ![]() On topic, you should be fine without a tune. For these cars a tune should be the last thing you do after all boltons are installed. To save money.

Just wanted to let you know, as I hadn't seen anyone else say it.
As stated the G3's and CBE will be fine without a tune. But if you add HFC's you will need a tune to be on the safe side. The car could possibly run too lean with the 3 breather mods combined. |

Ok sounds like a plan. Thanks again for all the advice, I'm just tryin to feel it out before biting into it. The mustang, though I love the car dearly, was too much "brute force" and in my eyes lacked finesse. These days I'm enjoying the "lean and mean" mindset, and this car has the potential to fulfill that roll perfectly. That is why I switched to the Z. I will just have to see if I can make the best of that potential without screwing it up hahaha

Congrats on the Z. Bottom line is tune isn't necessarily needed, but if your about getting every bit of power out the engine and your mods, definitely way to go.

Is the stock ECU smart enough to recalibrate and optimize the car's performance when you have upgraded with certain mods....within reason of course?
I've read here some people have hit the "reset" button on the ECU by temporarily disconnecting the battery. Others have said the ECU will "learn" the new mods after a few hard pulls. Finally, others have went with an e-tune or dyno-tune. I plan to put some drop-in K&N filters and just a new mid-pipe/muffler combo (with stock y-pipe). Will my ECU "learn" and optimize itself decently enough ???? Thanks, |

If you've got the $$ tune it. It will run better guaranteed, you'll have better throttle response, more power, more efficiently running engine, and it will pull a lot smoother and harder.

![]() The difference in how the car performs will be like day and night with a good tune, even if peak gains are minimal -- a lot of extra power can be picked up throughout the rev range, with better responsiveness.

Will I be hurting my car without a tune?
K&N w/HPS silicone intake Stillen HFC Stillen CBE Motordyne XYZ in the mail Motordyne M370 in the mail I want uprev but the closest tuner for me is about 5 hrs away. I can make the trip in about a month, so should I consider waiting to install the XYZ and/or the m370? Thx

I know I will need a tune. My question is, "Am I at risk of damaging my car if I add the m370 and/or XYZ for a month without a tune?" I see people use the word "safe" so Im apprehensive.

I would guess with all those breathing mods (pretty much full bolt ons) you are going to be running pretty lean... However I ran my G37 with gen 3's F.I TP's and full FI cbe for 12k and no issues.. stock manifold though

I have berk HFC, and CBE and dual pop chargers (intakes) on order and will be getting a tune with my install.
Question: I'm also planning to put in lightweight clutch flywheel in. Will that affect my tune? Should I wait to install my breather mods till I have the clutch and tune all at once. (I don't want to tune twice due to added expense)
