****, that hopefully was an alignment and not pulling the front driveshaft. We shall see, I'm kinda with you on this one...

Hey guys,
Just a quick post, after doing 7 pulls we're having unhealthy reading on STOCK tune. GSR's team figured that we need to change the spark plugs because it happened to one of the F Type R as well and they fixed it by changing it.
By the way my car is brand new..so probably we have bad spark plugs from the factory?
Reading was based on power dipping at 6000 rpm and suddenly pulling back up. I'll post again once we fix this problem. I'm already getting a quote to get the spark plugs replace. Hopefully they can do it this week.
Thank you all!

I looked at the Velocity Website and, as I understand their graphs for their reflash kit, you give up a LOT of lower RPM power (hence torque) to get their advertised max HP gain. Sounds like a bad deal to me, unless the car is a track car (maybe even a bad deal t hen).
Am I missing something?

The only way you would lose low end torque or HP on these cars is if you went in and de-tuned the car in that RPM range.

These cars are extremely sensitive to cat temps, even 2 pulls in consecutive order without adequate time in between will tip them into protection mode. You need a lot of airflow (I don't see a big fan there, but I'm sure you have something set up there?) and if you can get a couple of fans pointed at the cats as well that will help.
Interestingly, having seen a few 'VMax' tunes from people who switched over to our stuff, one of the most concerning things was the fact that some of the protection mode maps had been edited to lean out the AFR. My guess is that the tuner was running the car on the dyno and seeing rich mixtures and editing the tables thinking they were the optimum fuel strategy, when in fact the car was just too hot and they were editing the safe mode tables.
We are well into the 100's of tunes for these and the V6 engines, multiple dyno sessions and I've yet to see a set of plugs go bad as a result. I would monitor your cat temps and allow more time between runs, before you go changing them.
