Probably taking more soon. Forgot I let my mom take pictures of jewelery and left the cameras ISO on 2400.

Sweet looking coupe.
Get the lean condition sorted before it is damaged

Edit..VF is horrendous with after sales service. I would highly recommend Frank Smith at TTFS for a retune.

Yeah I have a VF Hex Flash tune on my car. I'm local to them.. Basically from what I can tell is that they just don't have the time for stuff like this (cheaper cars with cheaper kits) because they're putting all their energy into the 5-10 Lambo Huracans sitting in the back which is making them their real money, sad but understandable.

VF told me they wont work on ANY street cars. I have read up on the forums a decent amount about their tunes and such. We'll see though because it's difficult to find people who can tune an MSS70 let alone map to RPM and throttle positions on a MAFless car.

Yeah that whole working on street cars thing is total bs, they told me they couldn't flash my Z4M in house but they where more than happy to tell me that if I want a custom dyno tune that they could do it for $1800 lmao, they're working on plenty of lamborghini's with CA plates in there it's just a matter of money/time. our cars don't generate enough revenue for them to even bother.

Op, get you're better off getting a tune from TTFS and see if you can work out a deal or something with them because Frank knows his shit and add water meth injection

Just curious as how you got it registered here without CARB cert on the supercharger.

Lang Racing Development isn't too far from you - should give them a call to see if they can help you tune it or at least getting it run right?

Save current tune, flash to stock tune, put stock parts on back on.
