Tuning a SCUD in Long Island - Legend MotorSports
The Italians are known for making some beautiful machines but a Ferrari that sports a set of stripes down the middle, carbon fiber and alcantara everywhere, and a F1 transmission that could give you whip lash on every shift screaming for more at 8500 rpm is none other the the F430 Scuderia. Todd and I had the pleasure of tuning one of these bad boys which we both agreed that there would be no disappointment foreseen at the end of this tunnel. While both ECU's were out and being reprogrammed by Master Zuccone, I was installing two BMC air filters in the carbon air boxes to improve some air flow. Once the tuning was complete, and it was time for the test drive, the only thing I can say is HOLY TORQUE! This thing was an animal! Very enjoyable to drive, gave me more than perfect throttle response and a power band that just wouldn't quit. The tune clearly improved all aspects of performance in this already worked beast and it very well may be my favorite Ferrari to drive. - Thank You Anthony Mennella of Legend MotorSport for the opportunity to tune this awesome Ferrari as well as your Feedback and Blog Entry.
