base v6 vap tune feedback
Hey guys, im simply looking for feedback from someone who owns a v6 base or s that has done just the vap tune without a pulley. Would love to hear anything you have to say about it. reply or pm thanks!
awesome I just ordered the tune before yday, looking forward to hearing your thoughts
nice I am actually rear so hopefully I will be able to put the power down, also a shame I don't have the active exhaust but this tune should be extremely noticeable if it reaches it's claimed 415hp just with a tune alone

I've been going back and forth of whether or not I want to pull the trigger. I compared a buildsheet of a base V6 and a V6S; the V6S has an upgraded cooling system. I'm sure if JLR thought the base V6 cooling system was sufficient for the increased HP on the V6S, they would have left it as is. I brought up the concern to VelocityAP in their main thread.

I've put about 5000+ kms on my V6S since I've had the VAP sports cats and tune installed and haven't noticed any issues at all. A lot of city driving at 35+ Celsius stop and go traffic. I will admit that fuel economy has suffered a little, but I'm sure that's mostly do to the fact I stomp on the throttle a lot more now lol.
Throttle response is smoother and more responsive over stock and the butt dyno can definitely feel the difference. I very rarely ever had the traction control come on prior to the tune and now I have to try very hard to prevent it from coming on. It's worth it and would definitely recommend you getting the VAP tune, especially if you have a base V6, it's going to be pretty noticeable.
