Default Tuning advice needed

Hey guys, I've owned a couple Z cars over the years. And now I have the 370. I've been throwing around the idea of getting it tuned, but I need to know you know what the perks of tuning with 2 different kinds of software. Are I live in Pittsburgh and I don't want to have to drive too far to get this car tuned.

I've seen uprev and Ecutek as the best tuning software to use. If anyone knows someone who tunes good near Pittsburgh, I'd love to know. Otherwise, if someone is available to remotely tune my car, that's also an option. I'd prefer remotely tuning it over me driving seriously long distance just to tune.

As far as upgrades, I have the cats removed, installed test pipes. Installed cat back exhaust and cold air intakes. What kind of performance increase did you guys get with uprev or ecutek tuning with similar upgrades? And what are the cool features you get with these types of software? Thanks!

Ecutek > Uprev. R/T Tuning near Philly is very highly regarded. If you go with a remote tune, Seb at Specialty Z is heralded as the best. You should be looking to break 300whp pretty easy

Havent visited the tuning section for a while. Its been a few months now that ive been driving with sebs datalog etune through ecutek.Your car on the dyno would be best overall.. but
If you are going to get a e tune, dont just get the base tune where you tell the tuner your mods and they fiddle around with little they may know. I highly recommend the datalog option. The difference in power on every level is night and day.
Im not too sure about the diffences but ive seen alot switch to ecutek and ecutek seems to be the favor for most.
