The only way to dyno "tune" a stock 350Z is to have the Technosquare ECU reflash, but then you'd have to be at one of just a few (maybe even just two) shops in the country that has the interface to adjust the maps.

Of course, then it wouldn't be stock, would it.

It is possible to send your ECU to Technosquare for reflash though. Many people have seen performance improvements by doing so.

The wheel gap on this car is pretty big, but the pictures make it look worse than it really is because of the low camera angle. I could lower it, but I dealt with clearance issues in the Z and I'm not interested in doing it again.

An ECU sent to TS for a reflash couldn't really be dyno tuned, since the car won't be there for them to fine tune the flash to. You CAN get a UTEC or Greddy E-manage installed and have the car dyno tuned. You'll get a little bit of gains, but IMO, it's not worth it unless you do other mods as well, then dyno tune with one of these syetems for optimization.

Right...if you re-read my post, I said that to truly "dyno tune" a reflash, you'd have to take your car to either Technosquare in CA, or at AAM in MD (the only two places I know of that have the ability to write to the ECU maps). You can just mail your ECU off for a reflash, but it wouldn't be "dyno-tuneable"...you get what you get, or you end up dyno-tuning by mail....not too convenient.
