Question Dyno-tuneing

If i were to get ems and a tune,with the modifications i have now,what can i realisticly gain to the wheels?Would it be worth the money,or would a reflash be better in my case?...Ams tuned my buddies evo 322awhp,340awtq.

You only have i/e, a tune IMO isnt even worth the $$$

Every car and every dyno is different. You MAY be able to squeeze 270whp on a DJ, which could be 240 on a DD, or 280whp on a Dynapack...keep modding then tune it.

yeah, wait until you have a significant amount of bolt ons, or mainly F.I. before you start worrying about EMS and re-flashes. Until then, it's not cost effective.

before you get a re-flash or EMS you should have: intake, plenum spacer, headers, test pipes, and exhaust. then with the ability to flow more air, you will have to get the engine management taken care of since at that point you might be leaning out a bit.

Suspension is NEVER done! I don't want to hear you say those words ever again! Oh btw, ur stock upper strut tower bar is the best bar for the Z (not to mention the only adjustable one) all other bars are "fo sho" purposely only.

LSD is a must (quaife!)!! Get it and it shall save ur life, not to mention you'll be to do some awesome controlled sliding.

Hey abui01, I think you need to show this guy that his suspension isn't done. Go leave him on his own backroad. haha.
