Oldschool reasoning. Nissan really stuck one to tuners with VVEL.

Your graph between 5000-6200 rpms is exactly how the end of my graph looks from 6500-7500 rpms. My hp climbs steadily to 6500 rpms, drops dramatically, and then finally hits peak at around 7200 rpms. It looks like a U at the end of the graph.

I just asked for my graphs from my tuner, so hopefully we can compare graphs.

Why, what is so extreme about our tuning?
The only item we are unable to adjust right now is VVEL, which really has been a zero issue with basic forced induction. Now, if you want to lower the compression ratio, build the motor, or something else extreme then VVEL will be a factor but really it is a non-issue.

Plus, everytime I see someone say that VVEL is not going to be cracked, I remember how many thought that the R35 GTR might be untunable with all the coding Nissan built into the ECU but obviously that was blown out of the water once the aftermarket started picking up with those cars.

Exactly, now the pace might not be equal to the GT-R or other cars, but there seem to be companies willing to stick with the VQ37 and hopefully more will come.

If the DOD could be hacked, someone will find a way to crack the VVEL.

Any suggestions on how to do that? Brian at EFI was tuning my car for over 2 hours and couldn't figure out how to alleviate the problem.

Jordo has tons of great tips on tuning such as: "That can be fixed with tuning" and "you can tune that out"

When I had my car tuned, we were seeing some dips like that, so we added fuel to drop it down to 12.5 - 12.6 at wide open, added 2 degrees of timing and I ended up making 8whp more. I've seen a lot of the 370z and G37 tuned with UpRev and for some reason, they like extra fuel. 12.5 - 12.8 A/F seems to be making the most amount of horsepower / torque.

Blame the government for the stupid car rules we have!!!!!!!

Yes, my tuner said that he's seen 12.8 to be the sweet spot. I remember looking at the UpRev window and seeing the fuel right st 12.8, so I'm not sure why the graph shows 13.2.
