    Looks like a VCM OTR.
    Its a good unit. Worth $700, I don't reckon but everyone charges the same sort of money. OTR and mafless tune is the only worthwhile way to go.

    i read somewhere that MAFless tuning is exactly ready for the VZ? is that true?

    Sorry but i didnt know much about MAFless tuning until i jumped on here, basically going by what ive seen the airflow metre of MAF is removed and another way of reading airflow is put in so the engine can still dump the right amount of fuel in. right?

    Well on the LS1 they use the map sensor and intake air temp sensor to calculate the fuel needed.

    I'm not sure if there is a MAFless tune available for the alloytec yet.

    There will more then likely NEVER be a way to run a mafless tune on ANY 2004-2007 VZ or VE commodores. Only 2008 VE's V6's upwards can because they use the SIDI computer which is essentially american/v8 like in the sense it sorts everything out via g/sec with the airflow.

    So 2008 VE's upwards you may stand a chance, VZ's......... doubt there will ever be a way given the ECU design.

    im sure the peformance manifold ute runs a mafless OTR, i know for a fact that the alloytecs over in america can run mafless, VCM havent devloped the technology yet to tune it, and prob wont because the market isnt big enough.
    Life starts at 200km/h
