Very true. I see that you're still N/A with a tune. How would you rate your gains from just a tune alone? I've seen mixed numbers. Some are fairly substantial and some are only 10-15 hp which really isn't worth it imho

From what I've read, the tune isn't really about peak numbers. People who have one will swear it was worth it for the improved throttle response alone.

Definately understandable. It just doesn't seem that cost effective of a mod for the price for such a minimal gain. You know what I mean?

You also have to account for the other features an ECUtek tune would offer. Valet mode, launch control, multiple maps for different octanes. I plan on getting one eventually. Going to do tune and HFCs all at once.

I think most would like to go forced induction on the Z, just a very pricey endeavor. I meant my prior 2 cars were turbo from the factory, much easier to mod.

LMAo!!! You're not kidding. I boosted my old scion tc for under $6k and that's using quality parts, and purchasing 2 turbos and 2 different setups
