How much power are you looking for? VAP can download the 575hp SVR/P7 tune or theirs at 605hp (IIRC). They will also have headers available shortly....thinking about the 575 myself.

I have the Velocity tune on my 2016 V8 R... it has transformed the car into into an absolute beast. I love it!

The service and support that Velocity provides is second to none. I highly recommend them.

Why do you want to tune it if you hardly drive it?

Did you do the pulley as well or just the tune?

I'm out of town a lot but whenever I'm in town I drive it as much as I can!

As for tuning it, more power is always better for adrenaline junkies like myself haha!

Try the VelocityAP tune only first and you might decide that you don't need the pulley.

I did the tune and both pulleys on the V6. As I've said before, the upper pulley adds very little on the V6, as it is only 2.5% smaller (7% smaller for the V8). Others will have to guide you on what you do on the V8.
