    That's right folks Sharky and team have started to venture out of the Porsche tank and into some of the Italian waters. Todd from EVOMS is in town this week and Sharky was kind enough to setup a time to flash my newly acquired F430. Todd actually uploads the files from the two Ferrari ECUs and manually analyzes & modifies the fuel/timing/volumetric efficiency maps plus other parameters as well. Then downloads the new program into the Ferrari ECU without a Ferrari tech being none the wiser. The dip around 4 to 6K is completely gone now and the motor just absolutely rips through the redline...even more so than before. Throttle response is crisp, no hesitations, and idles like factory. Love it! I'm debating whether to increase the rev-limited from 8500 to 8800rpm since Todd indicated it still makes power up there and believe me does it ever! The only thing preventing me from doing so is the factory warranty....



    Thanks a bunch Alex, James, Todd and team!

    Thanks for sharing. Alex and the team at Sharkwerks did a wonderful job with the Stage II on my Turbo several years ago. It's nice to see them branching out to Fcars.

    Maybe Sharky & his team can look at the M/Y 2000+ 360 ECU to figure out how to avoid CEL's (that do not occur on 99's w/o the pre-cats) when headers such as Fabspeed go on!

    Seems strange that the 99's have no precats and no CEL's for no pre-cats! What's different in the ECU programming?

    Why can't we reprogam the ECU's on later cars to fix this problem?

    Sharky, how about it? Don't seem to have the problem on Porsches.

    It was fun watching this car rip out of Sharkwerks, sounded like a Challenge car for pete's sake!!! beautiful Maserati color as well on this 430, so with the scud wheels and color and the tastefull mods this car is a 1%er.

    I thought that was you in that picture.

    It's just that the person was so "dashing" I was not quite sure!
