VVEL control unlocked

Thanks, Jordo! All my tuning experience comes from the "old school" days of claying motors for piston/valve clearance and manually adjusting cam gears to get the correct amount of overlap.

Thanks, Jordo! All my tuning experience comes from the "old school" days of claying motors for piston/valve clearance and manually adjusting cam gears to get the correct amount of overlap. Things are much easier now and I'm glad to hear there are some built-in safety parameters within the limit tables.

Here is a dyno graph on an AWD mustang dyno (lowest reading in the land). Car has full bolt ons including long tubes. Car came in with a basic tune non VVEL adjustments. You can see the additional gains after a new tune with VVEL adjustments. JTran has been tuning VVEL for sometime now and has learned a lot.

Yes we actually remote tuned a few VQ's in Toronto and recently shipped a built block up there. We log into your computer and adjust the tunes via your computer, we can even do a live chat during the process. It's very kool!

Nice gain with the VVEL... with some basic bolton.

Ive seen some vvel head assembly that arent to expensive in a few scrap yard . I might end up trying getting the left head with another engine wiring harness to replace the one I modified for the HR heads.
That would only be a temporary untill FI this comming winter hehe....

yeah i actually destroyed my first SR running one of his off the shelf tunes lol. my fault for not knowing what the hell i was doing at that age and not checking the AFR, for some reason his tunes never worked well for my car and then I switched to nistune. oh how I wish we could run nistune on the Z
