Have you called UpRev for a recommendation in your area?

You can always do what I did. Pack the Z up in your trailer and take it down to Austin and have Jared do the tune. His excellence is well-known.

UpRev does offer a block of time for pay. Not sure if they can read your data log and diagnose a problem, but it's your dime...

There are other shops you can trailer it to that would be closer. But I think anyone here who has had their Z tuned would agree it is highly worth taking it somewhere trustworthy. Quality doesn't cost, it pays .

If you're running the TN kit then UTEC already has a good tune with 3 adjustments made for fuel on 550cc injectors and you'll have perfect 11.8 AF/r under wot in boost. Timing only needs to be slightly adjusted also. I was able to tune myself using the base TN 550cc map
