The "tuned" ecu just gives the ecu a more aggressive mapping than stock which in turn will net you a little gain power wise, usually ecu tunes increase the rev limiter some as well as removes the speed governor. The 91 or 93 octane info is needed as the fuel map will be a slightly more aggressive tune than the 91. Not a bad package overall as it covers the main power upgrades that most n/a owners do.

I'd just like to point out that if you buy each one of those items individually, it's about $30 cheaper, not including shipping. Just something to think about, since the pack doesn't seem too bad. ;)

Depends on what you want out of the car, n/a's don't take upgrades well so if your just looking for a nice sound with a little added power the intake and exhaust would be all you need. If your going to try and go all out the ecu upgrade is a big help. Personally I would just do the exhaust and intake and call it good then focus on suspension as thats where the biggest improvement can be had. Keep in mind 220whp is about the most a highly modified n/a will make with a good engine and tune.

i have a na z with a jimwolf ecu.only thing i like is govenor is removed.drifting with ur z is going to be hard specially if its a 2seater i have a 2 seater when ur sliding this thing will straighten out in a split second if u come of the gas or.the short and wide wheel base is a little harder to slide with.can be done but to learn will be hadrd.best bet is to do it in the rain that way u will get a feel for it.just dont be dumb and do it in traffic.find a nice abandon parking lot or a industrial park 2 go to.goodluck man
