    Thanks!

    It is great to see you digging in like that. I really need to start myself.

    The only problem is that three of the four folks that you tagged are MTs. :D

    Shit... Well those tagged are the ones that helped me the most. However, anyone with ECU ID 04B04 is more than welcome to benefit from my trials. So instead of repayment, I'll call it my attempt to pay it forward. :cheers:

    Do you have any inputs on the throttle response while doing long inclines?
    Do you have "dead" zones in 6th and 5th?
    Thanks

    I haven't noticed any as of yet. I did my best to try and smooth all of that out. I did find several spots that had lower values than those before and after it that would cause the "dead" spots while adjusting my tune. So something like: 1-2-3-4-3-4-5-6.... They clearly didn't belong in the sequence they were found. Adjusting them out seemed to eliminate those unwanted dips.

    I’m curious.
    Are the .vft files the same as the .p5f files? Can you just change the extension and load with Flash Manager?

    Nope, not the same. Well, the effect may be the same, but format is different and only .vft files can be edited.

    It was good to get you set up.

    You can still help other folks who are not your ECU ID (ATs and MTs) by explaining the changes that you made. That way, we can follow in your foot steps.

    :cheers:

    Not the same in the way that P5F are encrypted files not matter what you do and VFT are open and editable.

    But, they are the same in the way that the code and features are the same between the two files.

    Question is, Could someone without VFTuner use Flash Manager to load a .vft file by just changing the extension to .p5f?
    I understand the rest.

    No. VFT files can only be flash with the Flash Tool in vF. I believe that you can Export them as a BIN file and flash them with the Flash Tool in FM?

    More steps than just changing the extension, but it physically changes the files also.

    Please provide feedback if you try it. Constructive criticism is the preferred method, but I've got big shoulders

    I will gladly try this out and report back. I've only done my AGM settings so far so this will be fun to kick around. Thanks @Mooseditty17 your sharing effort is appreciated!

    Thanks. I looked at your file
    Man, you went all in on those numbers...
    Have you tried 0 to 60 yet?

    Yes. Haven't timed it, but she goes!

    This is the 5th or 6th version in attempt to get "performance" results. It's actually still VERY drivable at this point. Numbers could still go up yet to hit 1.05 results. I just didn't want to lose drivability.

    The one thing I didn't think about is I still haven't tried ECT PWR yet. This could be interesting

    I'll try it, I'm on stock size tires though. The 33 tune shift points might be a little off for me, but I'll give it a shot.
