The $ you spend on headers you will see very little gain in HP. Nissan made the stock manifold perform very good. Its not a huge change unless you are TT pushing a huge amount of HP then the extra flow may help.

Sophie is stock with ART Test Pipes, when I weld in the ARF bung I'll wrap them up with the titanium heat wrap. That keeps the gases hot so it flows faster out of the exhaust. Its weird but, keeping the exhaust hot will actually cool your engine temps.

Thanks Joe, Your one true "Fortune" I know I could count on you buddy!:tiphat:

Anyone Meeting before the Paws For Patriots Car Show tomorrow???

going to be aty the shell/cirlce station ulmerton and 49th street at 945 to meet up with my crew. you are more than welcome to meet me there and drive in with us.

I love Clearwater, I worked just down the street from that shell when I was at the UPS there in Pinellas Park building. I woulda gone if I would have looked sooner but I think we got things around here we need to do this weekend. Id show up but the wife might freak like why are you running off to leave again for some car junk? haha

Yup, same here. :shakes head:

Ummm, well let's see...I'd say it was changed out perhaps eight months ago, and mine was produced in Aug of '09.

Yup, I got a prorated amount on the new one because the old died as soon as it did.

Anyone in the central FL area looking to get there car tuned? I'm good friends with Derek at Advanced Race Technology in Sarasota. He's going to be installing a bunch of mods on my car and Uprev tuning the car afterwards. We will be doing baselines before each mod to get good comparison test results.

How much is he charging for the uprev and how many maps?

By additional maps do you mean valet, anti-theft? or do you want different maps for different octanes?

The license to use the uprev is a one time fee unless you swap out your ECM $400.00 to $450.00 then add the cost of the tuner. After the license return tuns should only be for the cost of the tuner.

When you make your appointment, tell him what your looking for. I told Martin what mods I had, what gas I use all the time 91 and I told him I didn't want to go over 10 pounds of boost. I also talked with him about 7AT, he will adjust my transmission line pressures to ensure the extra power doesn't tear up my 7AT.

Just have a plan for what you want! 1st Tune is most expensive, $850.00 to $900.00.

I don't know the exact cost but it will be way below the prices listed above. If they are charging $400-$450 they are ripping people off because you can buy the single uprev tuner license directly from uprev for $300.

Yes, $300 is the cost of the license. That does NOT include the cost of tuning the car, which can vary depending on where you go. I'd say average cost to tune is between $300-$450. So add that to the cost of license and you get $600-$750.

And that is only for the FIRST tune on the car. Any subsequent tunes would just be cost of tuning....license would already be present on the ecu.

Exactly, I don't want to be quoting the dyno tuning cost because that can vary depending if the car is NA or FI. My point was that if the shop is charging $450 for just the license then they are ripping people off.

X2:iagree:

All as you my know I was the winner of bigaudiofanat christmas install. He is considering coming down to the tampa/orlando area around the 1st part of May. I am posting to see if there is any interest by the forum members for him to do installs while he is here. Please post up in http://www.the370z.com/audio-video/6...ml#post2156496 and give him a pm if you are interested in having some work done prior to zdays. :tup:

Sweet congrats. I'm all set as far as audio goes, but I can't wait to see what he does to your car 😃

Thanks, now if I can find a sponsor for the equiptment I will be set.

On another note who is doing the shows this weekend with me?

I dont think I can make any this week.

Is there a website which posts all of the local shows? Or, is it mostly word of mouth?

I keep most of the shows in the second post of this thread. I listed two websites that I use and the rest is word of mount.

Sir,
Please add me to you Import Face off list.. 24 March, Gainsville Fl..
:leghump::drool:

This is going to be quite an un expected shocker but we traded the wifes Z in today for an Xterra. Some of you may know we are looking for another house and she decided that it would be a good idea to trim some fat in the stable. Plus we have always wanted a truck or suv.

So if anyone is looking for a badass Z Nissan of Brandon has ours! Get with me before you go to buy it and I will hook you up with my sales person.
