1: you are stuck using MAFs. Speed density isnt an option with VVEL... then again, this should be the case with any EMS not just the V Pro, wouldnt it?

2: Accel / Decel fuel trims. So, you splice into your TPS sensors so you can manage your accel and decel trims. Thats going to be an issue when your VVEL system is adjusting engine load with the valvetrain rather than the throttle bodies. VVEL causes changes in engine load that are not directly reflected in the actions of the throttle plates. The VVEL system is the last thing to touch the air before it enters the cylinders and the throttles obviously are none the wiser... to get this to run clean, you are going to need an EMS that is aware of the VVEL system and what its doing as its doing it... and you are going to need a secondary accel fuel trim map that is based on the actions of the VVEL system. ami right? I see this as being more hassle than its worth as far as setup and configuration with any EMS at all unless one of the manufacturers steps up to the plate and puts the features clear and easy in their software.

So, you can put the FCON in there and start it up... but I dont know who is going to enjoy driving that car for more than a few minutes without functional accel/decel trims
