Pls do the tune first, it is very important, the hardware wont give you much. I had headers, filters and 185 at first, these things alone didnt give much power.

The tune - Its awesome, make me want a 6 pot brakes now. Why still wait with all the positive comments in this thread. I held because I need to send ECU halfway along the globe. You guys are luckier in the US.

Not all tunes are equal and I can say that LET has a better Tune then most big vendors out there...LET has pure safe optimal performance in mind and if I were to start modding I would go the LET tune route first...

I agree with you. Not all tune are the same. We have different fuel, different climate, air humidity and air temp on this side of the world. If LET is in Australia, I would probably give them the key to tune.

Martin has extensive tuning experience in imports and the local V8. He has been tuining European cars in the past few years. He tuned his (and his partner) workshop's Gallardo, CLK63, CLS63, E55, C63 and a number of customers' AMG and BMW. He tuned my turbo s2000 and my r32gtr and has not blow up any engine yet. He tune and test all cars on the dyno.

If any of you guys have been to a mail sorting facility or seen how parcels/mail are sorted you would not put anything expensive through the post let alone an ecu. I work in QLD at the moment and has my C32 with me up here otherwise I would have got Martin to give my car a new tune and can share the result up here. He comes to QLD fairly often but for holiday so I don't want to May be next time he has a tuning session in QLD I will lock in the c32.

I think "mail" is a generic term used for "ship" by some... at least, when my ECU was sent to Jerry, it was securely packaged in a box and sent via FedEx Express and insured for the proper amount - I'd highly recommend anyone else to do the same and use a carrier like FedEx, UPS, etc.

If you think that the USA cars have it easier, talk to some of our folks in Arizona - the same weather, and 91 octane (~96RON)

There's a reason car mfgs come to Death Valley to do torture testing....
