I had problems loading a VMP tune because I didn't flash back to stock using the FRPP procal tool first. Turns out the procal changes the strategy.
Make sure you first connect the SCT and have it look up the strategy. Write it down.
Fortunately for me I had written it down first before I loaded the tune. It saved my **** bigtime...

Dave over at brenspeed told me to use my FRPP Procal to flash back to stock and then load the tune from the XCAL. I guess I'll write down the strategy just to be safe. How do I pull it up?

Just installed and tested the tune. Definitely a lot more grunt at low RPMs, but I'm still running pretty rich up top. My air/fuel ratio is settling around 11:1 at wide open throttle. That's just too rich for me. Maybe my gauge is off, so I'll be connecting the laptop and running live link in the coming days. (I start a three week vacation on the 21st.) I will definitely say that it is much stronger off the line. I don't put a lot of stock in the butt-dyno, but there is no denying that the brenspeed tune is significantly stronger off the line and at low RPMs. I might take a drive to get both tunes dyno'd and get a solid printout of the differences, just depends on how much time I have. All in all, I'm not disappointed in Brent's tune at all, but I'm not "wowed" yet either. I'll pull the live link file after I run it and send it to Brenspeed and see what they have to say about it. They've never been anything but the best in the past, so I don't expect them to be anything less this time around. If the tune isn't dead on, I'm sure they'll rectify the situation.
