just ordered velocity tune , installing lower pulley and mina intake upper and lower cone filters too
What did the whole bundle cost? Which tune the 640? You going to dyno next? Bigger question, smog...since ill be doing this maybe at the end of summer, we can race up and down 65 haha....like theres no traffic there
That is all I plan on doing myself to the car for performance enhancements. I have the intake just haven't wanted to tear apart the car yet to install. Interested to hear what you think of the upgrades together.
have not rec the tune yet , but the mina intake sounds great as well as it dresses up the engine bay , can't feel any hp gain however /
Yes...You will not get any HP gain from the intake...Just more sound, and of course, your engine bay looks like the Lawn blower tubing(OEM Intake) was removed and replaced with stainless!
The Tune and Pulley is a different story. You will definitely notice a difference in power and torque.
The VAP tune was the best investment I've made. Stewart and Chris, as busy as they are, have always thoughtfully addressed any issues I've had ( there have been a couple ). You have a 2016, and I a 2014, so its not apples to apples, but w my RWD the VAP tune has turned my car into a... thing to be contemplated, celebrated and respected. There is no ask for more power.

No sigs show up on the mobile version of the forum.
Don’t want to start my own thread. With just a tune and flashing tool, no pulley. Is the difference noticeable in the 2014 V8S? Also, if I bought the pulley later , Will I have to pay for updated software as well?

No charge for the additional "with pulley" tune, just do as I did and many others have done and ask VAP to load both the "without pulley" and "with pulley" tunes on the tool right from the start. Then if/when you get a pulley and install it you retune using the "with pulley" tune.
Only one hassle, you will need to reflash back to the stock tune before you apply the "with pulley" tune.

When I got my "no-pulley" tune I asked about getting one for once I installed a pulley. He told me that the tune was the same. No pulley, I'd get the benefit of the tune, but that it was configured to also cope with the added boost of the pulley. I did not change tunes when I installed the pulley and all was good. I did ask for an update to get the smoother throttle response they'd developed after my initial tune, and that worked as expected too. No charge for the update. The VAP support has been everything I'd have asked for.

How long ago did you get your tune?
Coz when I got mine some 3.3 years ago it was definitely two different tunes and they still show on my V-Tech tuning gadget as two separate files, and I definitely removed the first tune (and reflashed the OEM tune back on which is also still on the gadget) then flashed the "with pulley" tune on.
Maybe things have changed over the years and/or it's different for the MT?

I recently changed from the no pulley tune to the with pulley tune on the V6 and that definitely required an updated tune. Chris Explicitly instructed me to avoid driving the vehicle with the pulley installed without the pulley tune.
