Awsome work....

 

another great job sam great to see

 

Great job!

 

Wow Amazing!!

Sam please respond to my pm's! LOL

-James

 

can you get the Fcon Vpro to display info on the headunit, too?

 

+1! Sam, does he have the Knock Amp as well? So let me get this straight, the Navigator will display A/F and almost everything else?

 

Great work Sam! Man you are a busy guy. I almost feel guilty that I'm dropping off my (DSport)G35 to be tuned sometime soon because you're so darn busy.

And I know you're not tuning these monster cars during 9-5 work hours or on your lunch break. You're up til 5,6,7am dedicated on tuning and completing every one of GTM's customers cars flawlessly. And at the same time Sam will never get frustrated and will always help a customer with any questions or private messages when he can.

Sorry for the rant...but I have to give credit where credit is due. And credit is definitely due to Sam for his dedication to all of our cars(including mine) that have been cared for and tuned to perfection. Ensuring that nothing but the highest quality cars are being created by GTMotorsports.

Sam - As soon as I have all my accessories installed and the opportunity to drop off my G for tuning I will give you a heads up. Thank you for your patience and support.

Sam you did an awesome job tuning my car. The difference between the F-Con IS and PRO is night and day. It's sooooo smooth. The engine runs smoother than when I first drove it off of the dealers lot. The acceleration is very deceptive. I have to constantly keep my eyes on the speedo to make sure I'm under 100mph on the freeway. Every time I take off from a stop I keep wondering what happened to the cars next me, until I look into the rear-view mirror and realize I'm doing 80mph in a 40mph zone. It's definitely time for the BBK upgrade. After that I will schedule the Methanol Injection install to lower my intake temps. Again all I can say is "You da Man" when it comes to tuning. I've got a grin permanently plastered on my face. And the way you mapped out the display on the F-Con navigator is perfect. Having it located where the factory nav screen would go, let's me keep my eyes on the road while checking the engine vital's. And I know you spent way more time tuning the car than you charged me for labor. Based on the status updates you provided me at 8pm at night, even though your day started at 7am.

 

lol i want 500whp tooo lol haha

 

wow, thats crazy hp

 

very very nice

 

sam is a miracle worker, wait, no no ... he juss works hella hard =)

 

So what exactly does the GTM Spec Flash (No CELs) do? Just trying to understand this system more.

 

i would also like to know this

 

It will display anything that the vpro is reading

 

Good job Sam & the GTM crew, keep up the awsome work, can't wait for you to start on my car. I am glad GTM is only 10 minutes away.

 

that **** displaying on the headunit is badass! nice job! on the car.

 

Hey Guys,

We appreciate all the kind words. I was up late with Sam when we were finishing up this car and we did spend quite a few hours tuning this, until almost 3 AM! Derek is completely right the level of pride Sam takes in all the cars he works on is unbelievable, he will not let a car leave his shop until he feels it is 100%.

Let me try to answer a few of your questions If I missed any just let me know

The VPro will only display info on the Navigator Pro, currently only the IS has a video output to an external source.

When ever we tune a car we use a Knock amp for precise tuning via high quality headphones, this is the only way to tune.

BoostedG: After driving your car (for tuning purposes) I would strongly suggest a BBK!

FastZ33: Come on in!

VIZAGE: the GTM Spec Flash is designed to coincide with the way we tune the VPro so that no check engine lights are triggered. We tune the standalone as close as possible to the OEM ecu when not under boost.(very time consuming and take tons of research)

As meatbag stated the FCon Navigator will display any input that the FCon can see. To view vitals such as EGT,Oil Temp, Fuel Press, etc. additional HKS sensors are needed. We offer an "HKS Feedback Package" that includes all these sensor which feed the information to the VPro so all of the compensation tables can be used. Such as EGT Compension

Hope this answers your questions let me know if there is anything else I can do
