i'm in st louis and i use a haltech on my 650 hp g35.
are you on the stlsr forums?
I rent the dyno from eurotrix and do my tuning down there. He is an uprev osiris tuner so he could do that for you but it's not going to have near the function of a stand alone. No boost control, no wideband integrated, no recording integrated....so you will end up buying more stuff and not having a way to connect them into 1 program for ease of tuning.
Currently haltech or pro-EFI are the top 2 stand alones. If you are local here i can help you with Haltech and we are only about 4 hours away from Dynosty (injected performance) if you want to go have Hal tune it for you.
the newest haltech stand alone is 100% stand alone with no use of the stock ecu. This is pretty sick and I think i will probably switch over once it hits the market.
as for personal interface the haltech is simple to use as an end user product. From what i hear on others the pro-efi doens't have the same adjustability as what a licensed tuner gets and it isn't as user friendly.

I imagine his setup is fairly similar to yours, and I'd love to get him in touch with you somehow, at a meet or something just to get him talking about the car again lol. He needs to bring it out!

Ok, I have a friend who has a fully built 350Z, VQ35, with a pair of 18G's. Full build on bottom end, but it hasn't run well in 2-3 years since the build. It was originally tuned in Maryland, but now has issues here in STL. He is running on a HKS F-Con pro, but no one locally seems to be able to tune with that platform. When he had his car built, there weren’t too many options for it out there.
He's been out of the game for a few years, and has since just let the Z sit, well I'm trying to motivate him to get it back up to square and start driving it again. He is considering ditching the F-Con pro, in favor of something more useful/reliable/dependable.
What is the absolute best bang for the buck Standalone Management system out there these days for these cars? The standard in the VQ industry, etc?

Now if he had no EMS, than absolutely the Haltech would be my first choice these days.

I think what Sharif is saying is probably the best bet/ bang for buck in your friends situation. If leaving the Fcon regardless go to the Haltec, you cannot go wrong with that ems and the support from Hal. The return on the fcon will be negligible to the cost of it. Haltec is a top notch unit if there is to be a change.

Thanks for the info Jeff, I will let him know. I would like to see him ditch the F-Con all together, and just get it tuned by Hal on a Haltech Platinum Pro series, just waiting for it to come out.

Yea, my name on STLSR is the same as here. I think he was wanting to just go with the new PRO setup from Haltech if he did, but im sure throwing him an offer for your setup couldnt hurt!

I'm not sure what all the emissions in missouri are so since it's still a toss up on the haltech full stand alone passing emissions i would at least have him wait to find out. Indiana doesn't have emissions like the dirty whorebag state of missouri so i can do pretty much whatever i want
