But you have to add the cost of a license and the tune and it's not worth a few HP. Your cars ECU will get you more HP with the breathing mods.
LMAO!!! I love you!!! And I can't rep you again... But

I said the OP's mods warrant a tune, but MOST should know that I'm 100% against the tuning of our cars UNLESS you NEED the other BS features of an 8k redline, a valet tune, a speed limiter taken off, and the "throttle delay"


(Oh, and if you're like me that expects a catastrophic engine failure... Your tune will void your warranty... If anyone wants to have a civilized conversation on this topic, feel free to PM me, and lets not clog the OP's thread)

Correct me if wrong, the UpRev tune actually keeps the stock map so you won't avoid the warranty as long as you set it back before you bring the car in if anything goes wrong.

Yes, it does, BUT, when you go back to the stock ECU settings, Nissan will go, hmmmmmmm... The ECU was just reflashed... I wonder what this guy was doing........... And you're now screwed

Nah, there's no way a dealer could say you voided your warranty by disconnecting your battery.

What if your battery got discharged and died, whether by wear and tear or because you left your head lights on overnight or something?

That would suck!!!
