I already talked to Techno Square.... they said the only thing you may want to do is remove some extra timing off the top.... If you provide them with a DYNO A/F ratio then they can fine tune......... increasing the REV to 7100 is not a wise choice, as stated by many knowlegable engine builders..... the advantage of 300 RPM may be 10WHP but the risk to your bottom end is being debated currently.....reffering to some engine failurs....IMO it seems safer...after reading many posts to increase boost a little to get your desired WHP...VS increasing RPM....
So out of TS ECU you would benefit from....a safer tune with a good A/F ratio.....wouldnt trust a sniffer ruse a O2 bung PRE-CAT....also remove extra timing off the top
Drive by Wire....TB open to 100%
and Speed GOV removed....

Yeah...i understand that the engine bay needs quite a bit of dress up to make it that dazzling
But how does it ride w/o the strut tower brace...and to all that said they liked the hood....you have won another FAN!!!!
This may be a harder decision than i thought after all

Adam, do you have any pics of your hood/set-up
Also should i get the polished type 2 and add the pulley or regular finished stage 3???
I guess it's a preference huh????

These motors are made for low end TQ,not top end.Raising the rev limiter may stop you from hitting the rev limiter but it also increases boost on centrifical SC's up top.More boost in higher rpm's doesn't sound safe for our little rod bolts.Look at most dynos,the power tapers off past 5500 rpm.Just shift sooner.That's why I bought the Stillen, it places the TQ in the low rpm's then kinda falls after 5500 rpm.I do have n2o for tons of tq up top,so I shouldn't be talkin.
Vortec out of the box is pig rich & pretty safe,especially with hardly any tq down low.However,tuning the kit means your leaning it out.So how is tuning it a good/safe choice?
Just like stock or Vortec,the stillen needs tuning when you uprade more parts.So, mods=tune Stillen then you're O.K.
J lo's a$$ is FAT,she may look better if it wasn't there.Our car might sound better with a jet engine sound rather then a Psssssst sound.You never know, go hear one for yourself
Once you get the bug,you WILL always want more power.So,if I were you I'd buy the polished(if that's what you like) and mess around with the 5.6 pound pulley it comes with.In a few months,I guarantee you 5-6 pounds wont be enough & you'll want to try something new/more(7lb pulley).Unless you can controll your cravings like Joe Joe Z

Thanks for the kind words everyone!
Also, when I rode in it, were you at stage 2 or 3?

Strut bar: it actually feels about the same, maybe a touch less understeer, but I've got cusco sways, eibach springs and tokico shocks. I have the strut bar, its currently painted black, but I am getting ready to strip it and powdercoat it candy red also.

How much more power is in the stage 3 upgrade? Does it require tuning?
Can you describe the sound from inside the car 2003z.
Beautiful RIDE by the way!

I will give my self a shameless plug while I answer your question. I was considering the APS TT but went with the greddy TT because of the lack of unichip (APS piggy back) tuner in FL......there are none.
