You can't code them; VAP can make you a tune with those changes. Typically you'll receive a tune with/without eco start/stop, but that's it unless you ask for other things specifically. I've had VAP tweak throttle sensitivity a couple times for me, and been very happy with the results.

When you say "reliably" you mean reaching these numbers during dyno pulls. That is, I am not aware of anyone putting 100,000 miles on an engine with VAP tune and pulley and reporting back. I think your F-type might be the highest mileage with the tune and pulley continuously used and you are nowhere near 100K. So it is too early to speak about "reliably".

How often do you go into thermal protection mode on a hot days at this boost levels? Also, do you have issues with burnt valves or plugs?

Granted it's a summer generally fair weather car, but we take many long distance road trips with the car.
Side note, has been to the dealer for it's regular maintenance and "recalls", I have had no issue there.

Dammit! Maybe @Stuart@VelocityAP can chime in and verify? What all can you do with the tune besides power (not that that alone isn't enough)?
But to disable the requirement of holding your foot on the brake pedal to enable starting the engine, that's way into the legal aspect of getting sued. So in short: No I would not do that adjustment, because that kind of thing is in place for safety reasons.

Well.....I can raise the delay for limiting the throttle to enable a form of left-foot-brake and not cut out the throttle after few seconds.

Not sure what flaming you're referring to. It's not only a PITA, it's completely unnecessary and serves 0 purpose. I get (sorta) having to brake to go from P to a gear, but if you're IN park, why would you need to brake to start the car? And I'm actually wondering (will try it on the way home from work) now if you would have to press the brake to go from N to D if you're in motion. That would definitely suck, but I won't be surprised if it's the case. This is the first auto I've owned since my very first car and I've had 16 cars total, so all the nannies that come with this particular auto are pretty annoying as I'm not used to any of them.

Which I think is why the brake interlock was added to normal automatics.

I don't think that's a legal requirement. Tons of automatic cars, and every manual car doesn't require this. From my experience, only automatics with push button start require you to put your foot on the brake to start it. It's the DUMBEST thing because the car won't start if it's not in park anyway. At least in a manual you can start the car in gear so I get why they require the clutch to be depressed. Also, I can start the jag remotely. Foot ain't anywhere NEAR the brake when I do that. And I've been in plenty of autos where I'm sitting at a light and put it in neutral and the light turns and i just drop it in D without touching the brake. It's a nanny, not a law. But, if you can't/won't do it, no worries. Hopefully I'll figure out a way to bypass it. Also SUPER annoying that it won't let you put it in drive with the door open, like if you're just trying to pull forward a foot because you didn't pull far enough into the garage to not get your bumper clipped by the garage door.
I never said it's a "law" and I honestly don't think you've thought this through. Please explain to me how you would turn ON your ignition but not start your engine? Because that's how you diagnose your vehicle and scan for codes. So if a tech was to try scanning for codes while another tech was under the hood verifying something..I'm guessing you could guarantee the guy under the hood wouldn't have the slightest chance to injury. Again, I never stated anything about a car rolling off or driving away. I said it's a safety issue I would not allow this company to be related with...aka law suit 100%.
Regardless of the above fact and even if I was careless and when about, to flash your ecu the ignition needs to be ON with engine OFF. So if I created this file and you flashed the vehicle, that would be the last time the ecu could ever be flashed through OBD because every time you turn ON the ignition the engine starts instantly.
Nonetheless, this isn't to flame..I'm just bluntly stating it's not something I would perform in anyone's file, regardless of what anyone says or tries to prove to me. Just my 2cents
