Hills Garage in Baltimore or R/T Tuning in PA are the only two shops within 250 miles I'd trust tuning a Z with Uprev (you're only REAL tuning option basically). Make the drive, it's worth it man.

Otherwise I am looking at 700 for the tuner and around 700 for the tune. I didn't realize how sensitive these cars are and have never had an issue just upgrading exhaust. Lesson learned...I will save the rest of the mods for when I have a supercharger so I am not in and out of dyno shops.

Thanks for the option though.
I am not sure if they cracked Accessport, but they lock onto ecus. The tuning capabilities cannot be used on multiple vehicles without unlocking from the original ECU.

Seems weird, maybe the software went up and they bumped the base price of tuning/hr

Their NA tune price based on what was just posted is the same price has it has been for the past 2 yrs

FI Tuning they charged me by the hour but with a min and Max... not sure what they do now.

Scott was that maybe for a standalone ecu? I know they charge more for those then a uprev tune

Not standalone, from what I heard it was Osiris.

Hills is the way to go. At a minimum, just strap the car to any dyno, fork up $80-100 to see if the a chart and A/F to confirm your theory (or ease your worries). Bolt-on tends to not make much power and also not the car 'fall on it's face', mostly mind over matter unless there's something wrong with the parts you installed.

Just saw you list of mods.. Throw in the Motordyne plenum spacer before tuning the Z, OP.

Good luck!
