I have been searching for sometime now on Altima tuning and cant seem to find any answers, so any help would be great! I currently have headers, cai, and exhaust installed and was looking for a tune up.

I understand there are numerous different ecu upgrades and re-flash options, but due to nitrous this isn't a option. I have seen universal power programmers, but the price is a bit steep, and dont know for sure if they are compatible with Altima's.

So my question would be, if a tune up would be something i may need? And any kind of pricing and performance gains that may be associated with a tune up. Thank you in advance!

I don't know of any programers to tell you the truth. Your best bet would be a piggy back computer system. Apexi SAFC II or something comparable to that.

Looking into the Apexi SAFC II right now. Looks like a good AFC and nothing but good reviews! Thanks adidas i might have to pick this up. Have you messed around with any controllers before? Doesnt look like a hard install, and looks like it splices into the ECU, easy enough.
