Wow guys looks like a lot went on while I was gone. I really didnt mean to disrespect anyone. I agree that some of the things I said could have been worded better, but I tried to make it clear that anything negative that was said was either my opinion or a statement from another person. I do consider myself a enthusiast, and that is my main reason for being a member here. As I stated at the begining of this thread, I dont know a lot about the 350. Considering that, that is why I joined this board. I am not rich, so for me to spend 20,000+ is a big deal for me. Some people here had some very good information that helped me decide on what car better suited my needs. It just so happens that I decided that the evo was a better chioce for me at this time.

So in a round about way, Yes. Since the evo didnt run a 12.5 which the 350z did he could use a tune. Or at least thats my opinion, so take it how you want it doesnt really matter to me cause either way his Z is fast and considerably faster then a lot of evo's, including mine.
My car ran a 12.5 before I tuned a 150 shot! The 12.5 was on 125 shot with low bottle pressure with mad timing taken out for safety because I hadn't had a chance to tune on a dyno. I data logged the 125 shot with a wide band but until I had something else to compare with I wasn't about to tune to the edge. So I "ran" a 12.5 but when I did a short run against the Evo I upgraded to a tuned 150 shot and added bottle warmer and y-pipe. I have no idea what either car runs now but the evo is fast as hell. For you to say anything about a tune from the guys at TTP Engineering in Orlando is laughable for the fact you were on here asking people to help "you" decide which car "you" should buy.

I realize cars like mine make it hard for the evo crowd to say Z's are to expensive to buy a make fast, but thats no reason to down my buddy because he has done a lot of research and has taken great care to buy the right mods and find the right people to tune his car. This past weekend he beat a GTO with cams and exhaust until 140 which is pretty impressive.

Perception vs. Reality is a ****!

Ok well what should have been said was......... If your friends car doesnt run a 12.5 or better, with his mods there is something wrong. Now to me I would assume that it would be one of the two most common things. A) bad driver(or not perfect anyways) Or B) not tunned correctly. Now I do agree that TTP does a great job, but that doesnt mean that its 100% garanteed to be a perfect tune.

Nope. The closest you could get would to have a good tuner make a map on the dyno, and even then you cant recreate road conditions.

And this is why a road tune is better. As long as you got a wideband you're good.
