Default Any E-tune experience?

I've been away from the Z scene for a while. Just noticed that UpRev offers an e-tune. I've tuned my Fiesta ST that way, and it was a great experience. Has anyone tried this method for the Z? Are performance gains worth it?

I had my Z E-Tuned and it was great. I worked with R/T Tuning; Vince and his team took great care of me. This was around 6 years ago, and the car is still going strong.

I will say though.. Nothing beats a dyno tune.

I dont regret getting my car E-Tuned as it made it safe to drive and increased performance quite a bit with all of my mods, but there are some things they cant monitor without being on a dyno.

Have Uprev do it ... what A-town said though, nothing is going to beat a dyno (followed up with a street check tune) but an etune is a good solution to get you close enough and/or ensure you’re running safe.

For a Z with simple bolt on mods Etuning is great and will give you a noticeable boost in performance at a significant discount to dyno tuning.
