Has anyone reflashed their 3.0SC V6 aka Tune?

VAPs new smaller 58mm supercharger pulley is now available (62mm stock) for $319; add an extra long belt for $80. No statement yet on add hp/tq numbers
Going to check it now. Is this something you've already done?

Not yet. Honestly I’ll probably wait ‘til their Black Friday deals to pick it up and make that next winters project, but if I were starting from scratch I would go ahead and do lower and upper at the same time.

Based on other companies that have upper pulleys of the same size, we should expect 15-25 hp gain depending on the tuning from VAP. I do like how they created a 2 piece pulley that will make installation a little easier; other companies use a solid pulley and will take more heating to install.

Awesome, I’m going to wait for the price to drop as well, though those gains have me antsy to get it now

Just downloaded my stock ECU using the tool. About 28 minutes to pull out a 1.9 MB file. 5G, it ain't...

Looks like the upper is going to be +25 hp/+30tq; they just posted a video on IG with the test Jag and reported 475hp/470tq numbers.

Stage 3 would be a +135 hp (39.71%) and +138 tq (41.57%) over stock. That comes out to $16.73/hp and $16.36/tq.

I am more and more convinced that the kitted out SCV6’s need this, they get so heavy and the power is just lacking. I may just order the whole suite before a BF sale comes up. Not sure I can wait that long.
