Wait until you get ALL the bolt ons you plan to add installed, then tune. Tuning is expensive, and a tune for 1 mod will not do anything crazy.

After you install mods, reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery or doing the peddle method (google) and the car will adjust for the extra airflow.

Uprev is the only tuning option to consider. The standard license is $500 + tuner hourly rates. This gives you up to 5 different maps.

Headers are expensive, install is almost just as expensive. close to $1300 total for about 10whp increase, if that.

Tampa is like an hour and a half from ocala so check if there are any shops closer to you. If not, it is definitely worth the 1.5hr drive AFTER you get all the bolt ons (Intake/hfc/cbe) maybe you can even make a day out of it and grab lunch in ybor or something.

LostSol · 06-12-2014, 01:58 PM

My bad, I meant ZFever, not ZSpeed!! Yeah they're in Tampa but they're the closest Uprev certified shop around, so I think its worth the drive.

Bossless1 · 06-12-2014, 02:10 PM

Yeah - I'm in Tampa several times a year for different reasons... and now I've got intake plenums on my mind too...so I'm sure thats what I'll end up doing!

BTW, I just saw (well, around 1 pm) a used F.I. CBE for sale on the forum classified ads - wants $1000 for it but the bottoms are pretty scratched up...he sent me more pics, but I just cant get myself to buy used scratched up stuff very easily - but maybe someone that doesnt mind scratches would be interested...??? I am not advocating ANYTHING!!! lol Also saw a new Ark Grip V2 in the box for 1100 shipped - not too shabby, I think!

Hopefulki · 06-12-2014, 03:05 PM

Hi all! I had a leased 2010 Solid Red A/T Z, all papers signed for my 2014 PW M/T! No more lease either, this one will be 100% mine.

I don't post much but I lurk like a beast ;P Hadn't seen this thread until now!

Located in South Miami

*EDIT* @ Huck, I had VHT NiteShades for my tails on my old Z but they would go so light after a few months, despite being sprayed quite black. Any tricks to combat the FL sun? Since you have them as black as I had/want for my new Z.

G37Some · 06-12-2014, 06:27 PM

GTR vs 370z vid is sick. both sound amazing. Sound similar but the GTR is noticeable louder and a little higher pitched and sounds like absolute sex.

how is the rasp/hiss huck? in the video it doesnt sound crappy to me at all, as I was under the impression from various reviews

edit; i really need to hear the LTH+CBE side by side (in person) with motordyne cbe & art pipes. i love both of these set ups, i hope i get an extra 2k lying around someday to switch out my current exhaust/hfc

LostSol · 06-12-2014, 07:00 PM

Huck has the LTH and the non resonated Carbon Fiber F.I. Exhaust and it sounds, well it sounds tits. Theres no doubt its LOUD, but theres no rasp once its at temp. Anything, and I mean anything that replaces the stock cats will cause hiss.

so being in florida, basically theres no rasp 10 months out of the year

my HFC rasp in jan/feb when we get those days that are like 60* in the morning, then goes away by the time i drive down the block. so long as it is close to 80* outside my HFC dont rasp at all lol.

Bossless1 · 06-12-2014, 08:13 PM

Yeah... I thought I found a set of used F.I. LTH's that I could get - which meant i would just cancel the hfc's - but he wants too much for them... $1050... there $1250 NEW! So Im gonna stick with the hfc's

Huck · 06-12-2014, 10:46 PM
