Default Need Tuning Advice

I want to see where you'd rather go.
I'm from socal so I have two main choices on who to go to to get my UpRev tune on my 2003 Touring 350Z.

I can either go to Church's or SpecialtyZ. Which shop would you rather go to? Depending on price, dyno, and there experience with this tune.

No, don't tell me to search, I already did that and obviously couldn't find ANYTHING I WANTED TO KNOW.

Thanks!

*NO mods on the car at the moment, have my JWT POP CHARGER, HKS rep exhaust, 5/16 spacer ready to go. Will be throwing them on before tune*

Thanks!

For NA, I don't think you can go wrong with ether one (I've been to both)....considering you're much closer to Specialty Z I would go there...

I don't remember, but the price seemed to be comparable for both places...you should give Seb a call...

I just bought a used accessport and I have two questions I couldn't find the answer to. Currently I am running cat delete test pipes (straight) and I have non foulers installed to prevent my cel to come on. And I am wondering that if having the O2 spacers will it cause my afr to read incorrectly? Also with my mods can I run a stage2+ map? And does the stage 2+ map delete CEL for downstream 02 sensors? Also what is the% of hp gain? Sorry for all the questions I'm just a tunning virgin

My advice is resell the accessport used and buy an Uprev setup. Its worth it

So how much would the uprev cost me I know it is 300.00 for the license it that all I need and just get canned maps before I decide to go with a dyno tune? BecauseSo I have the 2004.5 roadster manual (which is not on the map list) the 2004.5 runs the MEC35-360 B1 while the auto 2004.5 roadster (which is on the map list) runs the MEC35-350 B1 and the 2004 manaul has a MEC31-640 and I flashed stage 2 and went to uninstall got a fatal error (most likely becayse it is for the 2004.5 auto) does anyone know how I can get a custom or a workable map that I can install and most importantly uninstall? NEED ONE ASAP

Uprev is $500-700 depending on which version you want. You need the license and the cable, $500 version lets you reflash tunes from a tuner, the $700 one lets you tune it yourself
