Default utec what all is needed?

I’m sorry for not using the search button but I hope someone can give me some answers. Right now I have the JWT TT on my 06 350z and as of now it been a year and over 13k on the kit and I have yet to have a problem with it. I know want to start adding a few other mods to the kit like a 2.5 inch true duel exhaust and some High flow cats or test pipes. I would like to switch over to utec because of the futures off the system taking over for weather change and what not and for my own piece of mind that my car is running the best order that it can. To do this and get around 415 hp and some more tq what would be needed. I see people selling utec on here for cheap some say for N/A some say for boost but is there different models? Also when using utec and trying to achieve my power goals what injectors do I have to use with the utec to do so?

I believe the UTEC has temperature correction but from what I understand its not very good.

Overkill advice Keith lol.

Chaz-buy a UTEC with MAP sensor, and the TXS WB to connect to the UTEC. For injectors, the UTEC can handle up to 750cc, always good to go larger than needed. To save $$ Id do Deaschworks (sp?) injectors-550 or even 650cc, this will leave room for upgrades later. The temp correction sucks a d!ck on the UTEC btw.

dude save money on the utec until you have enough for the HKS im sure im not the only one who agree's with this.. ask around. the FCON is worth the money... utec is ok but i personally would never put my car in the hands of the utec again. the E/M is the heart of your car would you rather have a heart of a house cat or the king of the jungle?

Hmmmm, I dont have a built motor like many of you guys; although I would love to I dont see it in the future. After talking with the lady, I love my car but if somthing bad happens, Im just going to get a supra. Many of my friends have them and run 475-500 rwhp with bolt-ons and afc and new tune. And spend money else where. I love my car to death but the more and more I think about everything the more and more it makes me sick to think about what I could have done with 10k and a supra. but oh well not trying to go on and on. I hope utec gets me what I want. Im just trying to get some codes clear on the car and have around 420 with my jwt kit. And be happy I don't think thats so much to ask for but I put my self in this position. On the real I should have built the motor first but **** live and learn.
