I think all the negative feedback is coming from tuners that are losing money over a product that costs incredibly less than their services.

Stillen has been around for 40 years. I trust them. Not bashing tuners, but that company has been around since some of you were in kindergarten.

Or... and try hard to follow along... people don't like the way it makes the engine behave.

I have no stake in tuning Z's. I bought the tru control, used it for a while, and took it off because it made driving the car less enjoyable. Nothing you say changes those facts.

If you like it, good for you. :clap:

Can you read? A few posts back I said I felt good under wide open throttle. My issue is the strange part throttle behavior. Most street driving is not done at wide open throttle.

It seems like you're personally offended that I don't share your opinion on this device. The snarky jabs make you appear insecure.

I have a 600hp big block chopped sedan hotrod that weighs 2600 pounds. I race a KZ shifterkart at the national level. I am a fan of speed, power, and performance. I am not a fan of erratic behavior on modern turbocharged engines that I paid a premium price for.

Some general advice: Before you reply, it's good to understand what the person you're replying to is saying so you don't look stupid.

I don't care what you drive or your opinion on a device made by a company founded in 1986.

You don't care? Then why are you replying? :giggle:

What does the age of a company have to do with me experiencing poor part throttle behavior and not liking it?

This is likely true with many professional services. My recent audio upgrade had me searching for straight-forward answers on changing out speakers without bypassing the stock Bose amp. I get there's a lot to it, but the very generic "may sound worse" had me wondering if I'm getting straight answers.

Which Map were you running when the issues happened?
When are you planning to hit Z1? Are you going to Z Nationals show day or track day next month? I'm thinking about show day Oct 17th,
