Do my eyes deceive me? Sharkwerks and Ferrari?!?
That's right folks Sharky and team have started to venture out of the Porsche tank and into some of the Italian waters. Todd from EVOMS is in town this week and Sharky was kind enough to setup a time to flash my newly acquired F430. Todd actually uploads the files from the two Ferrari ECUs and manually analyzes & modifies the fuel/timing/volumetric efficiency maps plus other parameters as well. Then downloads the new program into the Ferrari ECU without a Ferrari tech being none the wiser. The dip around 4 to 6K is completely gone now and the motor just absolutely rips through the redline...even more so than before. Throttle response is crisp, no hesitations, and idles like factory. Love it! I'm debating whether to increase the rev-limited from 8500 to 8800rpm since Todd indicated it still makes power up there and believe me does it ever! The only thing preventing me from doing so is the factory warranty....
Thanks a bunch Alex, James, Todd and team!

Yeh yeh yeh...i know....it's going to be lowered soon enough

Hey Philip,
Sharky, James, and Todd (from EVOMs, super nice guy) just upgraded her TCU (transmission computer), the car is shifting at 7000 rpm with a good pop; wow I bet she can get wheel spins between 2-3 gear now.
I also saw ZIP22's car there, very nice.

Actually it runs on racing headers, racing cats, and reinstalled the secondary exhaust valves to quiet things down a bit since it's blazing loud at wide open throttle....a new meaning to jekyl and hyde...hehehe
