How the ECU works and what needs to be overcome for NA gains
Keeping a eye on this thread. Lots of good info here.
I also order the Utec, should be here next week sometime. Im believe it should help bring the car alive with them mods i have installed.
Look forward to hearing from more people who have tune with the Utec.

Take for instance a pretty "standardly" modded Z with headers, cats and exhaust (in my case Strup, Crawford and NISMO) on the exhaust side and Motordyne MREV plus on the intake side. I currently have installed the cats and NISMO ONLY and have all the rest sitting at home waiting to be fitted (doh). From what has been said, I have a feeling that fitting all of the mods would actually produce less performance on my 2005 35th anniversary Z. So, here's the point I am trying to make: I realise I need to tune the ECU to account for all of these mods, but there is no mention here of the "new" UTEC. Will this item SAVE THE DAY FOR SURE? Can anyone confirm this?
yes the UTEC will take care of everything for you because it will force the A/F and timing to be what you set them to be regardless of what the ECU and its emissions programming wants to make them
the UTEC and emanage ultimate were not available a year ago. The motec is going to be crazy expensive compared to the UTEC or EU

Yeah, i might have AAM do the tune. They did do the reflash for me over a year ago. Not sure what they will charge to tune with the utec with dyno time. Guess i need to give them a call.
