Default n/a utec, reflash, or s-afc neo

just need some opinions on what route to go in tunig my n/a z. have just about all available bolt-ons and its time to bring them all together, problem is all the local shops in delaware are tellng me something different including car v2 who suggest i just go with the s-afc cause the utec is not worth the money n/a. (yes they sell,install and tune utecs)

it's dependent on the car and what your plans are...if you're done modding, then AAM's Reflash is perfect. If you're planning to continue to mod and need to change the ECU a few times, it'll depend on what kind of tuning rates you're charged for tuning a UTEC or other similar device...a few reflashes are sometimes cheaper than buying a Utec b/c of the re-occurring cost of paying someone to tune it. If you're going to tune it yourself and continue to do changes along the way, a Utec is probably the cheapest way to go.

thanks for the opinions guys!

im pretty much done modding since the only things i have left to do are spacer(allready have mrev-2 on 287)which im doing at time of tune, and 3.9 in the rear which arent really affected by tuing accept raising the rev limiter to 7000.

mods on car now engine wise
injen cai
mrev-2
crawford headers
ur high flow cats
borla true dual

want to do cams in the future but i dont know when they are expensive to get installed and i cant do it myself so they are not a definate for me.
