FOAM_RACING_VNS1_bolt_ons_256k was a very early incarnation probably not the best tune to use it works but the man himself said it was made back in the day when we were all learning.it should run though maybe your memcal socketing job is not done properly makes the fans come on and the check engine light ide suggest re heating every pin again then test each one with a multimeter set on ohms

if you are using a 27c256 youll need to stack the ARBP so there is 2 tunes on one chip .click on bin stacker/splitter in tunerpro select stack chip size 32 bin size 16 block size 16 load the ARBP twice down the bottom select a new name in the other box where its gonna save and click stack then burn it to the chip.everyone loves free memcals ill take them if you are going to throw them out
