My understanding regarding VVEL tuning was always that it probably wouldn't be much use for N/A application (which is one of the reasons we didn't screw with it on my car). The real potential is to see what it can do for FI applications. However, it doesn't look like anyone is diving head first into that one... not that I blame them.

I'm hoping they do, because it would be really cool (not just for the added power) to see what it is that makes it so complicated...

I'm a huge nerd so that stuff interests me on the How/Why things are the way they are. Why has it taken people going on 4 years to crack it, when everything else was done seemingly the next day (Cobb/UpRev in 09-10).

Can't blame them neither. The money adds up quickly

Probably correct ... but I think if you change out the stock intake manifold with something that sucks more air volume in than the stock one does on an NA platform ... seems that would be potentially gains with ecutek. I could be wrong ... I am no rocket scientist when it comes to this stuff.

We do anticipate starting our Forced Induction development very soon. In the meantime though, there are some very nice gains to be had with our calibration and basic bolt-ons

This car is another new frontier for EcuTek, but based on the advances and improvements made with EcuTek on the GT-R platform, you guys should be in for some exciting stuff!
