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!


See picts below:














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

 

good stuff!! love your f430...it looks soooo out of place at Sharkwerks

 

Sharky,
Wise decision on getting into the Fcar arena... then Lambo... But keep Pcar on top of your list.

 

ZIP22, I give you 6 months max for the concern on factory warranty. Power is addicting.

BTW, I'm going down there today for more goodies.

 

Congrats! You're going to love it! Two thumbs up for Sharky and Todd. The EVOMSit software wakes up the 430 for sure!!

 

thats awesome...enjoy it

 

Sweet, nice job. That's one clean looking scud.

Lambo time!

 

look closer...

 

Haha, what's next Eugene?

That's pretty sick that sharky is moving into the F car world...do I hear boosted F cars in the near future ?

 

Hey EG... seriously our pleasure! That's one slick color you have. Don't see that every day!

I can't believe that strange dip in the curve from the factory. Italians eh?

Thanks mate.... If there's no video you can't confirm it ever happened:P

LOL thanks Eugene and hopefully you're having some fun with that little bit extra today:P I wish I had that on my tip years ago

Warrant? Que?

Thanks mate!

You're next hehe!

Cheers man and good to meet you last week!

 

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.

 

Thanks Eugene...I heard your car being tested and it's a beast!

I came back today before Todd left to reflash the reflash....8800RPMS....yummmmmmm!!!!

 

Todd told me that Fcars and Lambos are way under tuned; reflashed with 8800 rpm and catless, your car must sound awesome.

 

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

 

Your's "jekyl & hyde", and SharkWerks calls mine "sleeper"; let's just make sure we don't pick on each other on the freeway.
