So in theory, how much smaller can we go with a pulley before a retune is required? Example, run a 3.5" pulley for max power and adjust up from there to limit power day to day leaving the 3.5" for race day or something like that? Is that clear? lol
Good question I would like to know as well:cheers:

The virtual pulley works just like you changed the pulley, say you had 10psi of boost making 650rw, if you adjust 1st gear it may lower to 8psi and make 600rw (just an example) so all shift points adapt.
So it's like remapping the throttle pedal.

Is this an app that connects via your phone or tablet and tweaks the calibration of the car's computer or something else?
If so, what is the actual interface a customer would utilize to change settings?

A Flare Tool iPhone App and AppleLink or, better yet, a native Sync 3 App so our Android buds aren't left out?

Anyone have an idea if there is a developer's kit for Sync 3 and what the rules for getting it loaded might be?

But I don't imagine Sync3 can "talk" to the PCM though...hmmm.

I suppose an (iPhone/Android) App and a BT adaptor is the path of least resistance though...

Laptop, tablet, mac all work and then our flash device.

Significantly more advanced with more variance but throttle is the main factor.
Would be cool if the percentage in each gear is self adaptive given how much slippage every time you floor it instead of manually setting it.
But I guess it's very complex because grip level always changes. Even Ferrari can't do it properly.
Or just give users a calibrated maximum torque limit gear independent.
Maybe I am thinking too much. The urge to want a Whipple is too strong.

What would be the smallest pulley safe to run on 93 octane with 72lb injectors and BAP? I thought it was 3.625.
