Yea, thats exactly what I'm saying. You are very professional
Good luck marketing your cams to people that dont live in Cali.

The problem with Ahmad's CLK is that it is a MAF car. At around 350 HP, MAF runs out of air flow and a voltage clamp flat lines MAF output and defaults to a map. A map that is likely has a fixed value. In addition Kleemann FMU adds fuel pressure vs. boost to keep A/F ratio safe. Very likely car is very rich with very retarded timing.
Ok let me understand something. AMGSC's car now has the Kleeman setup because he sold the HPS setup. But you guys did tune his car. Took about 40hrs. Yes ,he has Kleemann cams now which we know are much milder than the VRP cams. However,his car is exceeding the 350hp mark you state above and you guys were able to tune it and his car has a MAF. So what am I not understanding since basically AMGSC and Ahmad have the same car?

That would **** me off too if I was told originally that they were just plug and play! We know better now. This should have been mentioned to you prior to purchase is the truth. I would definitely keep these cams and get the car tuned because I believe they will make HP.

Bro I know you're pissed but at this point you are probably better off bringing the car to a tuner on our side. It will be better,however it seems that VRP is saying they cannot or they don't want to design SW for your app blindly because either they need a car like yours or they would need your car.

Although a super pain in the A, I heard somewhere that you can pull the cams and a pro shop can "spec" them for you. Then you would have your numbers and Klee and tune away.
Again, would involve digging back into the motor, but maybe worth it in the long run??
Is that true guys, a shop could spec a cam just from taking some measurements?

Vadim I'm sorry but I have to ask,

Ahmad, if you are find some one on the East Coast that can really do the software, has access to the dyno and is willing to datalog the car, I will be glad to assist them to get it right.
