    Hi. I'm new to the Ferrari world. I just picked up this 2008 F430. Pretty much stock other than exhaust and a couple carbon pieces. I'm looking into getting a tune for now. Wondering what people's thoughts are on that? Also, what kind of power are the factory injectors and fuel pump are good for? Looking into maybe going twin turbo in the future. I appreciate all input.

    Not sure where you live, but I'm amazed that your windscreen meets approval standards

    Welcome, interesting looking car. Mase engineering seem to be the go-to for tunes on these cars. Everyone says that they are very good. Only guessing but pumps should be ok for forced induction but probably need bigger injectors.

    It's probably not legal, but they haven't said much so far.

    As of now, I'm leaning towards Eurocharged doing the tuning. They just opened one up near me. Just trying to get a little info on them before I make any decisions.

    I'm coming from the world of drag race cars, so I know a little about power and turbos and such. I'm not really looking for anything crazy out of this car. 600 hp would be great.

    I drive it a lot at night. It's really not that bad to see out of. And driving it in the day is so much better.

    Interesting car, welcome.
    Makes a nice change to see someone going their own way on here, (lot's of purists with strong opinions etc.) if you know what I mean!

    refreshing - Good luck.

    I'd never mess with the windows for safety's sake (and I think ferraris are meant to be seen in ;) ) but the car looks great to me!

    People will know it's me. Lol. There aren't many around here. I really hate sunlight anyway, so I'm happy they were already tinted when I got the car. I'm doing a stereo upgrade soon and just cruising it around for a while.
