I've had my Z for 6 months now. Opinions!
I bought my 2006 interlagos flame Z in early November (bonestock) and have already added Borla TD, intense power test pipes, Mrev2, jwt pop charger, UR pulley, Cusco sways, torque solutions solid mount, N1 front lip and a bride zeta 3 seat. I'm looking for opinions on what I should do next, I got a 3.7 fd from a g37s I was looking to put in with a 1.5 way and jwt clutch and flywheel combo but I'm stuck. I'm sure my car is running pretty lean with all these mods and I was wanting to supercharge my car within the next year but I really don't want to get my car tuned now and have to retune again after. Is there anyone in the Orlando area familiar with Z's and can tune good, I've done all the work on the car myself and really don't trust anyone with it. I was looking into doing headers as well but since this is my daily I really don't have the time to attempt a diy. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, much appreciation

Remove UR pulley for a DD, traction is always a good thing. The final drive is a bit short if you got FI.

You need to find someone to trust to tune that Z. All that work to the intake system could be causing lean fuel or too much fuel. Lean is just bad all together, Too much = bad mpg and other stuffs.

From what I have seen it is easy to go way to lean with bolt ons and no tune. Get some kind of tune now and then go from there. Maybe coilovers with the other parts you mentioned and you'll have a very fun NA 350Z.

I don't understand.. you spent all that money on "Borla TD, intense power test pipes, Mrev2, jwt pop charger, UR pulley, Cusco sways, torque solutions solid mount, N1 front lip and a bride zeta 3 seat".. yet you can't fork over a little more to complete the process properly?
Depending on your FI project, UpRev could be used for that too.. so it wouldn't be a total waste.
I think the only cheap option is 'hope'.. just keep driving it as it is and hope nothing goes wrong. You will probably be Ok for a little while at least - you got this far right.?

I find it so interesting that everyone always wants to skimp on the tune, but they throw the cash elsewhere. Maybe because they dont get a tangible product to touch.
I know I got my Civic tuned twice and both times I loved how smooth the power band was and how great the car felt.
OP stop buying ricer parts for your car and get it tuned.

I have the spacer too ofcourse, the 3.7fd cause I got it free and I will get it tuned just want all the bolt ins first so I do t have to keep retuning. Just wish their was a cheaper solution to all this so I can be safe till I can afford headers and uprev

As far as the gearing, I'm assuming you have a manual transmission. While the 3.7 is a step in the right direction, it's pretty weak. I had the 4.08 on my NA build and it was awesome. Even though you got it free, installation can get pricey once you add up all the install parts ( bearings, shims, washers etc. ).
