A shop with a Dyno of course. The Dyno is the tool that shows you what the tweaks to the ECU has done..... Or you could pay someone to butt Dyno it for you.

I would drive to the nearest Uprev autorize dealer, you can check at Uprev website for listing. I'm from Canada and got it done for $580 with 5 maps including dyno pulls. Also thats a group pricing for 5 G37. I think its about $650 each car. Map 1= performance, Map 2= stock, Map 3= economy, Map 4= ballet, Map 5=kill switch

Anyone else think its funny that any valet that knows about UpRev will know how to switch maps lol
On my old Subaru the switching was done by the AccessPort so only I could make the map switches.

The dyno they have is set up for rear wheel, it's not a 4 wheel dyno. It would have not been a pretty picture if they would have strapped an AWD car into a rear-wheel only dyno.

It was some other chap (Synolimit) that was speaking about getting a "tune" without dyno pulls..... I don't see how this is even remotely close to accurate but whatever floats his boat. For the cash the tuner was asking for $700+ it better be one hell of a "street tune".

With knock and EGT monitoring I wouldn't actually mind tuning on the street especially if boosted.

Going to a shop that has a dyno & uses Uprev is your best bet. You will make the most power.
My 5AT with Intakes/Exhaust/HFC's made 305 hp @ the wheels. Not bad if you ask me. I got the sheet & video also. The license & having them tune it was $595.

what is the valet map meaing ?
I got mine done about 2-3 weeks ago. Cost $595 + tax so came to about $625. I got :
*increased rev limit to 8k
1) performance map
2) valet map - limited to 3k rmps and 30mph
3) no-start map (self explanatory) useful for vacations if you park your car on the street or in public
You can do up to 5 maps but not really all that useful. I inquired about an "eco" map for when I take road trips. They actually talked me out of it, explaining I might only get about 5 extra mpg and that if I ever forgot to switch out of eco or accidentally switched into eco - If i floored it i could do some serious damage to the engine... heat and some other stuff, i forget the details but i figured i would just skip on it.
The tune was successful though I still get about 20-22 mpg highway and I gained 15-16 hp from the tune alone!
pretty sure the license for a first time buyer is 500$ and then about 1 to 1.5 hours of labor for the tuner to work the car and customize your tune, depending on how many pulls you want to get to adjust settings and how long you wait in between for the car to cool down.
Additional tunes/license use in the future is like $100 im pretty sure.
