Product Description

Unlock additional horsepower, torque, and improved throttle response from your Ferrari 458 with the M-Engineering Stage 1 ECU Tune. Developed specifically for Ferrari's naturally aspirated 4.5L V8 engine, this performance calibration optimizes the factory engine management system to deliver improved power delivery, sharper throttle response, and a more engaging driving experience.

M-Engineering reports gains of up to 25 wheel horsepower and 20 lb-ft of torque for the Ferrari 458 Italia and Spider, while the Ferrari 458 Speciale benefits from gains of up to 30 wheel horsepower and 25 lb-ft of torque. Through carefully optimized ignition timing, air/fuel ratios, and other ECU parameters, the Stage 1 tune enhances engine performance while retaining the factory ECU's engine protection strategies.

Unlike traditional plug-in tuning modules, the M-Engineering calibration is applied directly to the factory ECU through a professional bench-flashing procedure. Developed to maximize the potential of Ferrari's high-revving V8, this ECU upgrade is an excellent addition to performance exhaust, intake, and other engine upgrades.
