Default ECU Tuning in the Mid-Atlantic Area

I've been calling around and looking into getting my ECU flashed. I am only really interested in a custom tune because every car is different. Anyway, I know Altered Atmosphere in MD does ECU flashes on their dyno. Does anyone know a good 350z ECU tuner in this region? Again, I'm only interested in a flash, no piggyback (I'm on a college budget )

This is pretty funny, Clint is a friend of mine...we went to the same high school and I rode motorcycles with his younger brother a bunch of times - Clint is the Z-man over at AAM for sure! Anyway, it IS good to hear pos. feedback about the shop. I have had some personal bad experiences there, but this was years ago with my Evo..long story.

I've been talking to Clint about scheduling a flash...the only thing that bugs me is that Mike is doing the tuning from what I hear and I have not heard such positive things about his abilities. I am willing to give them a chance though.

I have a 2006 (RevUp) with an AAM plenum spacer and Turbo XS catback. Anyone get the AAM flash with similar mods and care to share gains?

i would honestly get UTEC... and have Dave tune it.... unless u really really want a reflash, the piggy back would be better...

the reflash is like half the cost of the a utec.. and u can have it for other times and also if u decide to go FI..

OP, are you planning any major mods/FI in the future? If so just hold out and pick up a UTEC now and go that route. If not, just go with the reflash and call it a day

If all you have is a spacer(should of went MREV since space doesn't show gains on the REVUP as it does on non-REVUP) and exhaust, i'd hold off on the flash. I think the rule of thumbs is when you get to the test pipes and headers stage, is when you will start leaning out and the flash is more bang for your buck. I'd honestly put that money towards an MREV and feel more gains than a flash.

With those minimal mods, why not just get the Cobb AP???
