should I uprev?

[ggiwin]

I'm wondering if its worth it to get an uprev tune for my car, it only has stillen g3 intakes and a tanabe exhaust. I'm not planning to add HFCS or anything as it would be a hassle for me. Also, does stillen do uprev tunes? I live like 5 minutes away from them.

Stillen does do uprev. Probably not worth it if it's just those two mods.

not true

a tune will get it leaned back out

all it takes to run rich is after market intakes and cbe

i would do it

[ggiwin]

yeah i can't do HFC's or anything. From where I reside, cops are bored enough to just pull you over for the slightest thing.

Go uprev - i think 6-8hp with cba/intake

As kdo2milger says, it goes Rich..

Huh! I thought mods leaned the car out, and thats why everyone wanted a tune? If its running to rich than there is no danger in that. Running to lean is a different story.

NO IT WILL NOT,,AND your car will run better alot better,,OP DO IT

I DID AND IM MORE THAN HAPPY

how much does it cost at stillen?

Diff do the Up-Rev tune through Stillen. Alot of ppl dont understand that you DO need to tune your car when you add parts to your ride. Try telling a guy with a subaru that adds a aftermarket intake and not tune his car. Car will run like S#*t, simple as that..
It will be one of your best investment you make on your car. Please note I donot work for Stillen- I just know there good at wt they do..

Definitely do it if you are done with your breather mods. You're likely running rich right now. You will feel a noticeable difference in the torque curve (better acceleration in the low to mid range), and it will lean things out. I did it with my FX45 with just an intake and exhaust, and just did it with my 370Z last week with intake, HFC and CBE. A tune is money well spent to optimize your setup. I would definitely recommend a tune to anyone who's finished doing breathing mods.

Yes, Stillen definitely does tunes with Uprev. They've done a lot of tunes on various makes and has the experience to do a proper job.

Call me crazy but I live 15 mins away from stillen but opted to go to specialty z which is 90 mins away. Lol

Last time I called they (stillen) wanted $275 for the license and $125/hr for tuning.

If you can get a dyno tune done for $600-700, it is reasonable. So even if it takes 3 hours for Stillen to do, at the rates you posted, it will cost $650...pretty reasonable, and I don't think it'll take them more than 2 or 2.5 hours, really.

Yea their up rev tuning pricing is on par with Specialty Z. However, they charge a lot more for base line pulls than Specialty Z.

So in the end, if the total cost is the same/similar, then pricing is not an issue, no?
