I got 375 to the wheels with my cargraphic (no flash) That's 435 to the crank. I'm sure you paid half what I did. BTW the s-car-go headers make less power then stock headers.

Out of curiosity, what was wrong with the ECU? Would it work for me since RS tuning makes the software for

nothing wrong with the ecu, it just made less power than stock ecu on my set up...

The seller, good guy, told me that it was flashed for a 996 GT3 with lwfw and caragraphic headers and exhaust.

I have been in contact with FVD since... and I need to send them pics etc.. as they do not think it is thiers (the box has FVD tape on it) etc... so I may still use it if I can work out a reflash etc...

If I cannot use it... I will put it up for sale... you get first right of refusal

435 (from 380) with just Cargraphic headers/cats/mufflers? I thought that those figures would only be attainable by increasing to 3.8L.

Nah, the 3.8 is more about torque. I got an additional 35whp out of my setup and a BMC filter. It's all in the headers and 100cel cats.

Yea, let me know PJ. I'm confused about the FVD thing too as RS tuning should have nothing to do with FVD.

I would bet they are going to use a switch to trick the CEL as well. We only get smog tested every few years and only if the car is registered in a few counties. Many of us register cars in other parts of the state for taxes $25/year and to get around smog.

OBDII only in WA State. As long as he is not throwing a CEL, it's a pass!

What car graphic setup did you get specifically?

What stopped you getting the complete 410 kit with the flash?

(been considering this myself)

Sound clips soon.. I just got my first chance to check it out in person and drive it... I had no camera with me etc... It sounds great. At cruising RPMS it is no trouble at all... slightly louder but not annoying and you can still have an easy conversation or talk on the phone with issue... At elevated RPMS it sounds just unreal... perfect. When I have sound clips... I will post them.

I can PM you the details if you want -- I got it all figured out with the help of the guy I bought it from (top notch guy). Nothing sketchy...

I am not getting CEL's so I can pass WA State test...
I had him order 100 cell cats to build into the system but thought if I am not getting cel's why have them... multiple dyno pulls and about 20 mins of street driving today all with no cel's so as of today I cannot see why I should have him add cats to the setup.

Mine is registered in King County (Seattle) and they are not using a switch... simply unbolt the stock and bolt on the replacement... you are welcome to inspect. No software and no switches and stock ecu with stock programming
I know I know -- how can that be???? You are buying snake oil... system not proven... talk with the techs... it is possible.
