I wasn't very impressed with JMS

Mostly regarding their attitude towards their customers. Try asking a lot of questions or walking around their shop and you'll see what I mean.

So here's how it went. Took the Z to UpRev this past week. My installed mods include post MAF tubes, dry filter drop-ins, Berk HFC's, and Fast Intentions exhaust.

My baseline was 295. (I didn't ever get a stock reading.) After the software install and tune, I'm at 300. They were surprised by the fact that I was actually running rich with the mods and no tune. My throttle lag is completely gone, and my shifts feel like they are 'biting' harder than before. Not sure how else to describe it except that transmission doesn't feel as lazy anymore.

Everyone at UpRev was great. They spent a lot of time getting my tune just right. They did between 10-15 pulls, and gave it plenty of time to cool off between runs since the temp was 100+ outside. They even gave me a ride in their shop Z to demonstrate launch control. Gauge hijacking is in the works as well.

Overall, I'm a highly satisfied customer.

I'll bet that would be 10whp higher if you had done it in the winter. I know dynos try to correct for temp, but this summer in TX has been brutal.
