To start with i have an 06 auto roadster. i am waiting for a 5/16 spacer coming in. i have the following mods done:
nismo cai
went from 335 to 353 (i switched it from a friend with a 06 manual) final end drive ( i may have that backwards) it helped my acceleration but cut top end
aps 2.5 test pipes
hks hi power
nismo lmgt4's
i need info on when i get my spacer installed, is it time to get tuned? if so from past experiences which is best? osiris (no bashing me for an modded auto either because i love my baby and all the haterz can hate)

yessir im talking about rear end gears sorry i worded it wrong i was half asleep when i posted lol. when i get my plenum spacer on am i ready for a tune? (lets say if i buy an osirus)
I gained over 12hp and 10tq from my Osiris pro by just adding fuel. Have not played with timing yet either and not to mention a ton of other stuff. I can get mine tune whenever because I have the pro but if you just want somebody to flash it then it depends on how much more mods you are going to do. Well worth the money if you ask me...

JWT pop charger+1/2 plenum spacer = 239hp 230tq
AAM Test pipe+Invidia G200 = 251hp 240tq
Osiris tune = 264hp 251tq
Like I said there might be some more room to improved on those numbers but I won't bother with it until after headers install. Trying to squeeze that last little bit of power NA with tuning.

Thanks for the quick response. All I have is a 5/16 MD spacer and MREV2. After I get some HFCs I was going to look into a tune. Not sure if it would be too early or not so I am doing my research now. Thanks again.
i would get a tune.
even a bone stock car will benefit from a tune so with any mods you will benefit in fuel economy, throttle response, and power.
anyway your friend wants 3.55 gears again? i need 3.3 gears

nope not long after we switched he went back to stock and sold his car (dam jon i wish you still had that bad azz z if you read this) then it's settled, i am going to put the plenum spacer on and osirus pro next... thanx fellas for all the input
Just remember Tuner pro will get you the license and cable for you to tune/reflash as many times as you want. You will obviously need somebody to tune and pay for dyno time. If you just want a reflash with tune it will a bit cheaper but you will have 5 maps already but no adjustability for future mods. Like Function:Tuned in NOVA charges you something like $500 for the services. Im not sure who is the rep here in the SE.
BTW someone is selling a used tuner pro unit in the Turbo/SC/NOS section of the classifies...

Yo Juan its Tom (S14@SIM on CN)
I rented a dyno for 2 hours in Richmond when I was still in VA and had a buddy help me tune the car. The dude was used to tuning DSM so he wasn't quite comfortable with making too much changes. Now that I'm back in Greensboro, I have a few people that I'm more comfortable with tuning my car but I just need to find a good dyno place. If I find a place then I will let you know.
