MOVED ON TO ACF PERFORMANCE / bm3

As of 11/4/16 .....I am No longer ENZO Tuned. I have moved on to ACF Performance/bm3.

So quick explanation on why I moved on...

I live in a relatively high altitude area, even though this vehicle should adapt, I was experiencing SEVERE misfires from approx 4 to 6,000ft (usually at around 60-70mph or 4000rpm-ish). After experiencing these misfires, I decided to just put the car away until I could decide on my next move. I've known about Ricardo and ACF since my car went to Enzo, and had been following his builds....once bm3 (if you don't know what bm3 is...educate yourself HERE ) was a reality, I reached out to Alex@ACF to discuss meeting in Vegas to re-tune.

Met with Ricardo and Alex while they were at SEMA, talk about some quality people!! HOLY SHITBALLZ they know this platform. Ricardo sat with me and really explained the tune...each table (all 80+) and why one affected the other. Unfortunately, I learned a lot about which tables were previously "Tuned" and which tables were left untouched (overlaying tuned tables with OEM Tables) which not only left me stunned, but speechless.

Fast forward to the re-flash....after flashing we took her out on the highway to get some "pulls" and "logs" done. Man, my car misfired like a son-of-a-bitch! Ricardo and Alex worked on my car from mid afternoon to 1am trying to get it to behave and suspected bad plugs from the get go.
We all decided to pack it in for the night, and even tho Alex had an early flight that afternoon, he took a trip to a local dealer to pick up some n20 plugs before his flight out.

That afternoon, Ricardo got the plugs handled and the car COMPLETELY transformed!!! HOLY SHIT!! COMPLETLY different car!! Now granted, as I type this, I haven't made the drive back home yet (I leave tomorrow morning) but I'm pretty confident I will no longer experience my previous issues due to the new tune (tables changed/corrected) and new plugs.

Although the car is not 100% "dialed" in, I'll be doing several pulls/logging from Vegas to Utah (Low Altitude/High Altitude) so Ricardo and Alex can work their magic and send corrected/updated tune to my car via bm3!!


Just an FYI....I will no longer be commenting or answering ANY questions regarding my previous tune...I'm moving on and I'll just leave it at that.

Glad you're sorted Ronanz! What a journey you've had. Not to disparage Enzo too much but how many in the 4-series forum have they left scratching their heads? Not a question but more a comment.

How do you like the Dinan Shockware? Did you do the springs and that at the same time?

Sorry.....since I had it installed before I took delivery, I really don't have a baseline to compare it to.

Well if I had to ask since I'm getting shockware installed next week (yay 50% off), on a scale from 1-10 (1 being harsh/lots of lean, and 10 being 7 series comfy), how comfortable is the ride on comfort, and how much body roll/lean is there in sport around corners?

For me it was money well spent...car feels as planted as my C7 Z06. Sport/Sport+ she feels perfect-absolutely no lean, Comfort I still feel planted with a little softer ride (not spongy tho). It's a great addition and compliments their springs

Awesome!

Lemme know how they feel on the road, grip and comfort etc...

I was going to pick up a set of 235/35/19, 275/30/19 as well but it'll be nice to hear from someone who has more power to see the grip levels


Also thanks for the mini review on the shockware! It's freaking amazing, car does not bounce anymore and it's alot more comfortable.
