Question Help me with my build please!

I was wondering if you guys could give me some feedback on the setup I'd like! All your advice- even against these mods- is much appreciated, I admire many of your setups and trust your expertise.

I'll start with what I have on my Z already:

A Stillen true dual exhaust
Stillen ram air intake
Nismo flywheel
a grounding kit
and an oil catch-can

This is what I want to purchase and would like input on...

Motordyne 5/16" or Powerlabs 3/8"
An ECU tune...

Unfortunately, I'm still confused after all of my research on the best way to tackle the ECU. I'm worried my modifications are too far outside those 'pre-mapped' parameters piggybacks use to guarantee effectiveness. (I have no intention of going FI.) If you guys could tell me the most cost-effective way to optimize my Z- I could sleep at night hahaha

I posted this in the NA forum and was told to move it here, but on the advice that "it's who's tuning not what programmer they are using," Altered Atmosphere is like a 20 minute drive for me....

Thanks again,

Matt

It's not only the tuning system, but also who tunes it.

If you check around the tuning forum you'll get similar responses as far as the right software to use, and probably a few good recommendations on which tuning shops have a great reputation.

I might suggest giving Dave @ Function Tuned a call, or check on our website under the Dealer listing. I'm sure there is someone near you that you'll get a good feel for.
