Do i not need tuning software to get tuned?
I have a z-chip that i want to dump....but I need to be able to reflash to stock to not void my warrenty.....does this mean i need an accessport just to reflash it back to stock, or to get a tune in general....?

you have a couple of choices:
1) get a Cobb AP, which is claimed to be able to return to stock and be undetectable - see my note at the end.
2) get a tactrix cable and ecuflash, once you or you tuner does a map you can swap maps whenever you want
3) get a pro tune and get friendly with the tuner so you can come and change maps whenever..
regarding Cobbs capability of being undetectable, i think for 99% of the dealers out there it is undetectable, however if mitsu sent your ECU away I think the jap engineers could detect it.
same goes for ECUFlash...

toss the zchip in the trash.. it was probably decent when it came out, but now there are so much better options. if you search, those few that have them cant get anything done with them. like Tephra said, either Cobb AP or Cable and Ecuflash... i myself have the tactrix cable and use Ecuflash, as do most on here.
