Knowing full well this isn't going to be the best, most dialed-in custom tune for me *for now,* is fine by me. Once I have more mods (and more money), I'll invest in a local pro-tune. But with just aftermarket exhaust as my only mod pretty much, I think the Z1 EcuTek kit is fine for now and will hopefully at least allow me to monitor engine data and log. And maybe even clear my CEL from running non-cat test pipes.

For $750+shipping, it is probably the most affordable way to get started with the EcuTek platform.

My hope is that once I am ready for a shop to tune it that since I already have the kit and license that the tune itself will just be a flat rate or whatever any given shop charges for whatever 1-2-3hrs of dyno tuning, maybe $500 or something. Really kinda pointless to spend that kind of money until/unless I have more mods to make it worth it.

Just rescuing this 120k mile car from the prior owner has been one fun headache after another :P
