Depends who you go with for tuning. In Socal it is from $550 to $800.

Damn I will try MZM in Austin Tx to see what they charge. Don't trust any shops in CT yet.

There is also an E-tune option.

A LTH is def on my list but I don't know when it's coming out.
I'm also running the Cobb stock map and I feel okay. (my AFR is 12.1~12.9 at WOT after 3k rpm)
I'm thinking of getting a E-tune cause it seems like most Cobb tuners in Cali have no experience with G/Z.

Its supposed to come out in March. Your AFR is good for having tps. Drive down to GTM.

I was thinking about getting RTPs before a re-tune, but was at a meet when someone with tps rolled up and that smell is heavy.

Haha I have been pulled over three times for not displying a front license and had no issue with the test pipes.

What I do when pulled over is to make a turn and turn off the car.
But, I agree the smell. I found out myself holding a breath when going behind the car at idle. haha

Yup, but you have to datalog everything yourself. So, it might be not precise.
However, if it doesn't turn out good, you can datalog again and send it back until you feel right.
There is probably some room for improvement though.

You can PM forged performance/AAM/others because they also can E-tune.

I didn't try technosquare because it's like going to a Mercedes dealership to get my Infiniti warranty done. LOL.

I'm 98.89 sure that Technosquare won't tune via the cobb AP.
