Nothing, why? It depends on your primary use for the car.

I happen to like the Vpro in street cars. It lacks on a little bit of the capability of the other units, but for a street car, it's a great choice. I have used the Vpro in 250whp N/A street cars, and 1400+ wheel horsepower street cars, so it covers a broad spectrum; however, n2o control incorporated in for launch control, 2 step is a pain in the **** and uses up almost all of your available tables and outputs(on a Toyota Supra MKIV). The newest version of the Vpro(not released in the USA yet), has better control and more option output and input management than before. Not a big change, but a change in the right direction, none the less.

I have the V Pro in my G 35...I was planning on TTing it until I got my GT2.

The V Pro created the smoothest running engine I have ever had and gas mileage is phenomenal.

thanks for the information Justin! Evo and sti tuning is pretty big over here in jersey, tuners like turbotrix and sean ivey all prefer the AEM unit over Vpro thats why i was wondering. i guess it's all personal preference. good to see you on this board!

Typically, if they are not HKS ProDealers, they won't like the Vpro It is a matter of preference, and the primary objective of the car. Don't get me wrong, I like the AEM also, for certain platforms, and for racing. I also like the Motec and a half dozen others... all of which I can work with. For me, it is definitely application dependant.

Justin,

I was planning on having SGP racing put a Greddy TT kit on her. Then a freind said "why are you going to pour all that money into an Infiniti, I will sell you my GT2 for 100 K". 2 years ago that was an excellent deal for a GT2 w/ only 3K miles.

I also was having some bad experiences w/ SGP so the car now has a 4K engine management system and custom exhuast. 7K for 50 hp.

G is the daily...at one of the campuses where I teach (70 mile rtrip, but I get paid mileage) the faculty parking is in front of the student lot, the kids walk by the cars and scratch them all the time. I teach there twice a week and need a car I don't stress about.

My main office, I have my own lot and a security guard who runs the kids off. I take the M there. I never drive the GT2 because my boss gets pissed (they all drive prius/smart cars).

Love the ending part. Everytime my boss walks in my office also, they see my car's pix, they say "We pay you too much"

I just thought I would update everyone on the status of the "standalone" in the 996TT.

After grabbing all of the data I felt I needed over the last few weeks, and finally getting some time to do the remainder of the wiring, it's up and running.

There are no major CEL's... I say major because I did get a CEL for the O2 sensor heater circuit(probably my fault in the first place), but other than that everything seems cool. I will change the spark plugs tomorrow and quite possibly in the afternoon put her back on the dyno and compare stock to standalone numbers.

I am currently running off of the factory MAF and injectors, but will be switching to speed density and larger injectors shortly, thereby getting rid of that nasty convoluted intake pipe.

I just wanted to let everyone know that it works fine.
