Our tuning reputation will at times draw customers from a few states away. New York, Connecticut, Ohio, Virginia, etc. After all, a solid and dependable tune is the key to any build and is worth driving for!

Within the past month we have had 3 customers tackle the border crossing and the many miles between our northern neighbor Canada and our front door here in Lansdale Pennsylvania in the search for a tune that they could count on and we were happy to meet their expectations. One such customer was Pat C. and his downright evil looking flat black Nissan 370Z.

With a flat black wrap job by Pat himself and a Stillen supercharger bolted onto the VQ37 this is one 370Z that has plenty of power to back up that stealth fighter like exterior.

Pat brought the car down to us for one of our incredibly popular Uprev Osiris tunes. Pat built a solid 400+ wheel horsepower car but needed a good tune to really bring out the potential of his build and make it livable on a daily basis.

The results speak for themselves! Just shy of 440 wheel horsepower on pump gas and a tune you can rely on everyday!

With over 430 wheel horsepower, incredible looks, a silky smooth exhaust note, and stock like cruising and idle this Z checks every box that Pat was looking for.

Huge thanks to Pat for making the trek to R/T Tuning and for providing some great pictures of his car.

Nice, looks really good with the wrap on it. What kind of boost was it tuned to?

wow Vince..that car is beautiful!!

I secretly want one worse that a hooker wants money.

The power just keeps on going as well, any plans on him upgrading the motor to get that puppy to spin further?

Thanks!!!! I agree...I want one more then anything and might have to pull the trigger within the next year..

I dont think so, he is pretty happy with it as is. He had alot of headaches from Stillen with Bad base tunes and he is happy that it is tuned and making the power it should. Also these motors are 11:1 Compression so 9-10 lbs is the most I would run on it.

Yeaaaaaah. Stillen has had all kinds of issues with this kit. The base tune is awful, apparently.
