I am not really qualified to give a deep answer here but will give you a short one. The 370z has a very complicated ECU and can be tuned through Osiris (a tuning software). Any chips or canned tunes will not compare to a real tune by a tech.

Someone else on here might be able to suggest a good tuner in your area.

Good luck!
