Steve Pearson woww..... I approached Steve probably going on two years ago, asked him if he thought he could possibly tune a IS-F. He said he probably could, and he was exceptionally confident about it. I figured, well if there was anyone in the country that was capable, it would be him.

I was pretty surprised to say the least when he messaged me on fb today saying that he already tuned one, a few Tundra's, and even more surprised that he is working with RR Racing. I'm very excited about this. Steve has been tuning for a long long time, and currently gets to tune and work on Porsches, McLaren's, Ferrari's, Lambo's every day.

I'm pretty confident this is our meal ticket guys. Sigh me up!!!!

Now, I need him to poke around with the Proefi on my supra -_-


Steve

Hey Steve! I just started putting together a pro128 for a Gallardo tonight... not my fave thing ever, but its worth it when you get to not only be a bad **** in a lambo, but a BAD **** IN A TT LAMBO! Without the lambo around me I go back to being a weird lil round fella

Rafi is one of the most motivated people in this industry - Without people like him, we wouldn't have the automotive aftermarket we are so lucky to have.

He has been personally testing this software on his own car since before Xmas - and it has certainly been put through his paces.

Actually during initial tuning Novel punched a hole in the ISFs block. He said he was seeing how high he could raise the rev. It was at 8000 ish when it happened. Ill try to find pics I had. Its been a while.

I am pretty sure he was just poking fun because he just smoked my 400hp B8 S4 by a lot... Without the launch it stands no chance.

Raising the limiter to 8k to punch a hole in the block, though... Gutsy move, but necessary in motorsports.

Steve, are you serious?... I didn't realize we were racing

Anyway... just added some preliminary info and dyno plots on the Vendor section, and going to sleep... soon I hope!
