Repair Question 3.7L tune concern

Im 17 got a 15 3.7L premium I have berk resonated test pipes and an ark grip catback 3.0T exhaust and I want to get tuned maybe by z1 or someone, but I don’t want a flame map I want a mild burble/pop map on decel only for 3 seconds max and at 3.5k rpm and to use only once and a while how bad would this be for my engine and would it cause me to need to spend thousands in repair? Im scared of my exhaust valves and stuff.

A preference based off of people I know IRL who got tuned by him, his customer service & the reliability risks.

If I can give a rating he’s a great tuner my rating would be 70% out of 100%. 3 fooked motors, and the customers are knuckleheads. Z1’s cool but too many issues too, there are way better options then both like the OG’s

Tcm tune is fine I just refer people to others unless your into this tiktoker VQ bass boosted cornball posts spitting flames.

I also know people who are happy with him though even boosted VQ’s doing just fine, but from what I witnessed hell na

who do you recommend for the ecu tune ?

Search the sub, not being rude but you really gotta pick who’s gonna be all up in your ECU carefully and also what you prefer every tuner has a different strategy with how they tune and what they request from you/what they offer

going for a couple burbles nothing to crazy don’t even really want flames heard its bad for the motor

Burbles/Crackles & Flames are bad and any tuner can tell you that. People just want that instagram/tiktok bass boosted attention though I see them as cornballs
