Default NJ/PA/NY - Group Custom Tuning oppurtunity

I have another thread on all the different tuning options available now for 991.2, Cobb is prominent, there is GIAC, Dyno Spectrum, VF Engineering Hex tune etc. I am sure I am missing quite a few.
A lot of companies work with Cobb using Access port for transferring the maps, others have there own device to do similar map transfers. We have all seen different numbers and characteristics from a number of different tunes.

just a two days ago, a forum member was recommending me VF Engineering and he had his 2018 Carrera T tuned by them.

And yesterday I by change I got an invite to have dinner with Nick the owner of VF Engineering who happened to be in NJ, I was like what are the odds of that.
I was also speaking to Danek at Eurotech MS in NJ and it turns out Nick was here to discuss business with Danek, what are the odds of that.

Any way had a great dinner and long discussion with Nick (really nice guy)

We discussed a possibility, if there is enough interest in the area to do a big event. Where VF Engineering would fly over here and rent a shop with a Mustang Load Bearing 4W Dyno and tune all cars. That would include the ECU mod needed, which by the way is software based but requires physically opening the ECU to get to the chip but no physical modification is made other then opening the case to access the chip. And Dyno tuning the cars live one at a time. they would be willing to do this for 2-4 days straight depending how many cars are there. There seems to be interest in this from other brand car owners as well, from another car club I belong to. so it would be worth the effort for a great event and tune.

What do you think if you are in the area and if interested let me know, and I can talk to Nick further about it.

Would this be a tune they load up to our Cobb Accessport? Or does it get bench flashed?

Sorry, naive a bit in the Porsche scene

This is for custom (pro) tune on a dyno, even cobb will tell you to do that if you have more than sport cats

But with that being said, I imagine even if you only have sport cats, a custom tune would probably extract more oomph than an OTS tune?

Count me in depending on date! I'm waiting for my Soul Street Package, but now I might even add in headers to my install in prep for a proper tune.

Yes,- want to see if there is enough interest for them to fly over here to set it up.
you get a smooth tune on the dyno right away, they tune a lot.

dates would really depend on interest and shop schedule and there schedule.

i am in for custom hands on tune where I get to watch and have it done quickly, no email fine tuning.
dyno tunes are best way to do it

I would like to have seen those Mustang dyno curves for the various 3.0 tt engines, b4 and after tuning. I had my stock S/X51 tested on a Mustang dyno, and would like to compare.
