Additionally I have spoken with Motion Lab Tuning and they are trying to get ahold of UpRev as well for news so they can get my car on the dyno and see what differences it will make. I'm sure they will jump in here whenever they get any news.

I'm hoping for even better drivability and the area under the curve to clean up. Maybe I can run 10lbs n make the same power instead of having to run 12lbs of boost.

Ill have an update tomorrow. Car didn't make it on the dyno today. More power at lower boost levels in the future! Ill post before and after dynos, with boost levels, weather conditions, etc...

Probably little if any. The car is setup to be very efficient NA. I think this is mostly a mod that will help the FI folks.

Not necessarily true.

Especially with freer flowing intake and exhaust -- remember, the VVEL is also factory tuned with emissions and gas mileage in mind.

Folks with FI will benefit the most, but we should see some nice gains NA as well.

Just got off the phone with my tuner. Having a few issues downloading the beta software, Rom files, etc... The man over at uprev said they will have it sorted out jn the next few days. The software was released on the 3rd. They're releasing updates daily for the new software. Everything is still in the beta phase. My tuner is leaving for California next Wednesday but hopefully we will get some results before that. Keep y'all posted.

With VVEL unlocked, we can effectively move our powerband up the rpm range. I can see this being a benefit for all the guys with breather mods and little restriction. Pairing it with more aggressive exhaust cans will only make it better. I wonder how having an M370 intake manifold would be affected, it mag improve it's top end with tuning, or maybe not.
