I'm not sure if his v6 chip is still the same as it was. I've talked to him via email before he's a decent follow. He doesn't do the tunes himself but someone else (I suspect from JC) does them for him. The old version of that tune was ok just needed to not have so rich a mixture, I'm not sure he updated it or not but either way it'll be fine for a burnout car where you want it rich anyway. I don't advertise V6 memcals, so you have to ask for one especially. I'm more into doing tunes to suit each car a little closer than a mass burned eprom. I don't do that

once i get it in the car and get the twin throttle body etc on it i will message u again and will see if u can set something up for me maybe... ps. would u recommend running a cat on my car? it never has had one, the exhaust shop put it all in and has always been great but i have always wondered if a cat would make it better

I'd run a cat just to cut down on the pollution (so you have good karma) and then a straight pipe angled at the back wheel, preferably both wheels so you get some good smoke drift

thats exactly how it is, 2 pipes pointin at the wheels but whenever i go in a comp at night my exhaust (muffler) glows red..... grrrrr, too much fuel? and if so is the dual throttle bodies gonna make that worse?

ive got both went from foam's to marobi back to foams


marobi made my car rev higher at speeds than foams did... but after 100km's it seemed to sit a little lower....


marobi at 80 was about 1900ish
foams at 80 was 1700ish


i didnt comparethe 2 of them with computer stuff... might do that this weekend...

but it seems like he just took the sv3800 maps and put them in all the different tunes.... cause it make the auto act funny with locking up the torque converter.

You can set the converter lock anywhere you want, I noramaly set it lower because I'm allways after saving fuel where ever possible. I usually extend the lean cruise maps and lower the temps and speed all that comes on etc

Nah red pipes are great because if you can get them that hot then if you add enough fuel just before the limiter you can get constant blue flames and that's for the win on a burnout car :)
