Reflash at AAM this weekend... Need advice
Just finished my bolt-ons today and I have an appointment at AAM this Saturday. Just wondering if you guys recommend the basic reflash for $600 or go for the custom tuning for $1K. I am leaning towards the custom tuning so they can get my A/F perfect and tune my z to its full potential, but does the custom tuning really make a HUGE difference compared to the reflash? Thanks for your help.

Yep
Yeah just got my car back from there, had the HKS supercharger installed along with 440cc injectors and the plenum spacer and they tuned it with the HKS Navigator. They did a excellent job, Mike, Dave and everyone that works there are good people. I think you will be pleased with the results.

Unless the reflash is from HKS or is designed to maximize the mods that you currently have on your car, I'd spend the extra money and have it tuned.
As a side, how "tuneable" is the F-Con Navigator?

I was thinking that this might be the way to go too. Basic reflash and a piggyback to fine tune everything...

When you look at it this way (if Im correct) it doesnt seem like much more $
I definetly want to before and after dyno.
