[Official] "Do I need a tune with bolt-ons?" thread

[Sharad909]

Hey guys, it's better just ask this silly question then to learn it the hard way. Just got my Z 4 months ago. Installed a catback and that's it. Planning on getting a resonated test pipe. Will I NEED a tune for the TP? I don't want to tune the car since power isn't my focus at the moment.

Better yet, learn how to search. This question has been asked and answered many times already.

If you don't like the site's search function, go to just about any web search engine and add "site:the370z.com" to your search string.

After I had an Invidia Gemini fitted to mine it wasn't running as sweetly as it was. In the end I tried disconnecting the + terminal on the battery for a few minutes to see if that would reset the learning and force it to relearn.

It worked far better than I had hoped and it's been sweet ever since. The only downside is having to reset the clock and the windows. If you do it read the book for the windows because you would never figure it out otherwise.
