The latter is the best if you want a great tune. Both places do phenomenal work.

I have lived here my whole life. If you have any specific questions let me know.

Several people have told me TC's would be a good place to get my Haltech tuned. Thanks for the info!


Sean, thanks for that info as well. I'm interested to see what my HP figures do. As long as it's still 501rwhp or higher I'll be happy haha. I've got greddy twins with a Forged Performance stage 2 block and I'm running a Haltech. Those are the basics.

What I was thinking I might do is add a fuel cell (10 gallons or so) and just stock pile 93 octane in my garage. So I can keep the car on 93.

Yeah if you drop below 500hp you need a new signature pic!
Man you will be the 3rd Haltech here! I'm jealous, I gotta get rid of the spew-tech sometime soon. I THINK you may have to tune with TC performance...I'm not sure if that is Nick (at MAC) area. I Know TC tuned Kevin's 740 HP beast and Boulders Drag car...both Haltech's

I'm almost 100% sure Nick doesn't tune HalTech.

BOO! Still bring it buy CIN, they'll do a kick *** job.

I like the fact that TC has a decent track record with tuning some high hp cars running the Haltech, I'll be speaking with them soon. Thanks for the help guys.

P.S. Welcome to the cold snowy icebox...thank God your coming in spring, it is awesome here the next 5 months!

Great question, I am one of those tortured by this puzzle too. From the research done I am guessing his corrected numbers will fall slightly and his actual numbers will be substantially lower.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think he is going to feel the 18% power drop that we all do. He will just be starting from a much higher level.

The z club is also a part of the group that will be building our new local road course.

Long story on the zccc web site. The domain was purchased 10 yrs ago and paid up front by a member who is no longer with the z club and we didn't get notification of the expiration. We hope to have the domain back within a few weeks.

Meeting place is at Brooklyn's south of mile high stadium. 7pm for general membership, most start showing up between 6-6:30pm.

FYI, this is the "older" Z club. Very few 350z owners.........

Milehighz.com is the local 350z/G35 club.

Andrew....just an FYI there is a pretty decent amount of 350Z owners that are in the ZCCC. It's not just all older Z's.

Well i guess what i mean is the ZCCC is gauged more towards the older generation Z cars. MHZ is exclusive to 350z and g35 owners. Like "My350z" is.

The ZCCC is an established club and geared towards ALL makes and models of z's, not just one or two particular models. 90% of the cars at the meeting tonight were 350z's. So the ZCCC is NOT geared only toward the older models but all models if the z and G line.

The show and shine at Tynans this year will have the early roadsters, z's zx's, 240sx, 350z's and G's. We won't turn anyone away.

Personally I like the older models with their 40 yr old technology and styling. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate the newer models.

You can't go to only one or two meetings and make a judgement that you don't like it, what's worse is not going to a meeting and judging it. The only way you can change anything is by participating.

I know ZCCC won't turn anyone away. All im saying is that for a 350z/g35 owner MHZ is the local club for you. Yes, you can be in both and i know ZCCC has great events but if you own a 350z/g35 and live in colorado MHZ is also a must. This is just my opinion, im not trying to put ZCCC down in any way shape or form. I respect any car enthusiest to the fullest. Maybe ill show up to a few ZCCC meets this summer.

Anyhow, Moe at Speed Image is very knowledgable and hands down all about customer satifaction. So give him a ring for any work you'd like completed. Nick at MAC autosport has done most of our N/A & F/I tunes. Watch out for Bill though... he's all about the dollar. I'm sure others will chime in with thier suggestions as well.

For the most part Colorado Z/G owners are a great bunch. Most of them live in the Denver area so it will be easy for you to meet them. And all enjoy some form of motorsports with their car. Make sure to check out www.MileHighZ.com/forum for local events.

Good luck!!!
I took my G37 to MAC Autosport and they seem knowledgable. Best place I have been so far in Colorado. Nick seems to know his stuff too. Took my car in to get dynoed and some HFCs installed, and they had this Z they were working on with a TT kit and a whole bunch of other stuff being put on it.

Was it black getting a JWT kit? If so that was mine. Nick, Scott, and Adam are all great.
