Mase Flash - ECU upgrades for 360/F430 - Best mod for your Ferrari

I'm late to this thread but this looks like it might be connected to the Houston floods? There could be a lot of suspect cars coming from that sad mess of a storm. Although all of the damaged Ferraris melted because that's what happens when they are in the rain, doesn't it?

Nothing a new harness and Ferrparts won’t fix. I hope.

 

And mucho dinero . I have a soft spot for things with broken pieces.

Mark, what's this car's story?

 

You need to do a thread on it so we can experience the rebirth with you.

 

Too painful
Already......

What sort of gains can we expect with Headers/HFC on the 360? Seems like you picked up 25WHP or so on a stock car. Can I expect 50+WHP?

 

Finally got a chance to go for a test drive.

If you tune for a higher octane (say 93 in the US instead of 92), and then for whatever reason the owner is having trouble finding 93 and has to get do with 92, what happens? Does it risk causing engine knock (which could result in damage), or it simply delivers less power?

From what I've read (and correct me if I'm wrong), the 360 I have here in Switzerland, is rated to use (European) 95 octane fuel, and if I were to give it 98 octane, some of the fuel may not get used up, thus potentially damaging the cats when it ends up burning in there?

 

I have a 458. The ONLY thing I would want via re-flash is to reduce the throttle sensitivity to make it more linear. It takes far too delicate a touch to keep the car moving smoothly in traffic, and even on the track, the throttle is too much like an on/off switch, making it tough to modulate sweeping turns (like the Carousel at Sonoma Raceway). Is that possible?

 

You all asked great questions!

Looking forward to seeing answers from Steve.

Hi Steve,
As discussed, my ECU's should be delivered to you on Monday. I sent them USPS 2 day priority.
Thank you for the time spent with me on the process and information on what is involved with the ECU upgrade!

 

My friend Seung,

I hope you sent it insured. I personally no longer use USPS for anything important or valuable. Only UPS or FedEx.

I can't even remember now how many packages I didn't receive in the past as dang USPS lost it and they didn't have a clue who touched it last.

Yes,
I did insure it. For me......Fedex is crap....UPS is ok...but ground take forever.
I've had great luck with USPS priority.
Delivery on time, tracking, priority is usually 2 to 3 days.

This is with over a thousand shipment sent....5 had troubles. A couple due to buyer fraud.

Hope you get ECUs back next week!

 

I sent mine using usps as well, and took over 2 weeks to be finally delivered. Thought I dodged the holiday shopping rush only for the winter storm to ground the shipping to a halt.

Even though I insured it, I was sweating bullets!

Are you guys trying to give me a heart attack!

 

I used usps priority and it was there in three days with no issues.

 

How much should it be insured for, and where, geographically, is this being sent? Maybe it was because I was trying to look it up on my mobile device, but I couldn't find an address.

 

Florida. They are probably 2 grand a piece to replace but I didn't insure them for that much.

 

It's on my other post.

Mase engineering is in Florida.

Each ECU costs about $2,400.00 so I insured mine for $5K.
