power chip or tune or both?

Hey all,
So I have a 09 g37x coupe with r2c intake and ark exhaust. I want to add more power to it. I have been hearing good things about the UPRev tune for the car and was thinking about getting it but I was also thinking about putting in a chip to give me more power. Which one would you recommend? Is it better to get just one or the other or get both? And which should I install first. Any input would be appreciated!

There are no performance chips for our car. None. Anything you see that says otherwise it not correct. Get the Uprev and call it a day.

Damn that's kinda disappointing but from what I hear the UPRev gives it a pretty nice boost either way

Either uprev or ecutek, the latter has more control over the ignition timing in our cars so I would recommend ecutek. Not cheap but worth it.

Is the price difference that much? I know a place where I can get an UPRev for like 500 or 600. Are the gains the same as well?

Are you talking about the weird shifts that happen with the 7AT tranny?
