Tuning the Ferrari 488 Completely Changes the Car

[@ferrisbuellersdayoff]

One of the best NGS videos in a long time! Awesome job... Gorgeous car, was never a big 488 fan but you've convinced me. -(Minus the blacked out tail lights on that one. NAF of that.)

[@normalguysupercar]

It looks pretty sick

[@josephmccormack6910]

Wow.....sharp car. I'm normally not a all blacked out car but....the 488 is outstanding. It stands out and is both subtle but aggressive. Very cool.

[@normalguysupercar]

Agreed

[@darksutti]

You are a nice guy... Greets from Germany, from an F488 GTB owner: black, deep (Novitc coilovers (minus 6 cm), Loud (Capristo race exhaust (straight pipe) and gold matt 21" rims........simply understatement 😁

[@normalguysupercar]

Vice nice car

[@giuseppegeanni9975]

Hey bro, I also have a 488 but it’s stock and I’m thinking of adding some bits to it, where can I see photos of you car? Thanks

[@bobpusnik1590]

Good stuff dan cheers from Australia 👍

Thanks

Thank you!

SICK 488. WOW. I LIKE THAT WERE GETTING BACK TO THE REGULAR NGSC. VIDEOS !

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks

[@JW-lo2bh]

Awesome video Dan! I'm not a fan of black cars or black interiors, but that 488 is freaking amazing!!

[@normalguysupercar]

I agree

[@rcgrabbag]

Car looks and sounds great! I USED to have a 488, but I just got an F8 about a month ago. Sounds good on the inside, but it's enhanced through 'pipes' into the cabin. On the outside I think the particulate filters do a number on the sound. I dunno, I may get an exhaust, but it's iconel from the factory.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah it's just not the same

[@freddaniali]

I want a carbon fiber toilet installed in my bathroom! Everything carbon fiber!!!

[@normalguysupercar]

I endorse this

[@plife911]

😂🎉 u also need cf toilet paper

[@philipparana9225]

Better go with carbonfiber kevlar weave for back pressure.

[@ndpesicgroup]

Lolol.....

[@willemvandernest3249]

It's not going to make the load you carry any lighter 😂

[@AB-80X]

Dan as a former 488 owner, and someone who's seen the result of tuning 488's, I'd really urge you to put it back to stock. I know this comment might not great for you selling the car, but those turbos DO NOT like added boost. They last a long time in stock, but several owners have seen them go bang after a tune that adds boost. I'm really not trying to be a stick in the mud, but I kind of feel obligated to tell it as it is. The last guy I saw how did the 488 tune, had his turbos on the road for about 60 miles, and then boom. They don't like it.

[@normalguysupercar]

I've seen plenty with tunes last a long time.

[@jrbuch]

Love that feeling of crazy power that a turbo car gives. I know that smile when you've made a few mods and go for the first drive.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yup

[@toomanymodz]

I have a soft spot for black on black cars. My first one was a 1991 NSX. This 488 just made me weak in the knees. It's gorgeous!!!

[@normalguysupercar]

When clean it's one of the best colors. I just hate maintaining it

[@charlescri9635]

Another great video 👍

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks

[@alanmoriarty1752]

AAAHHGGGHHH..... to bad it's sold. that would have made a great NGSC work/shop vehicle . And 488's look so nice in black.

[@normalguysupercar]

It does look sick in all black

[@igbigbike]

Helloo, what tuning software that u use ?

[@normalguysupercar]

We use a 3rd party running company whose products we sell.

[@ImperrfectStranger]

3:48 360 ECUs are in the back, not in the cabin 😉

[@normalguysupercar]

Oh yeah, see they change them around all the time

[@markchip1]

Shipping both seems like a smart move... UNLESS.... the package gets lost in the mail!!!

[@normalguysupercar]

True

[@haroldmclean3755]

What a Glorious Sound 👍😉

[@normalguysupercar]

I think so

[@johnnyjohnson2569]

I don’t see this listed on your website?

[@normalguysupercar]

It's already sold

[@giuseppegeanni9975]

Does anyone know where the rear duck tail lip is from?

[@normalguysupercar]

I think Capristo

[@chevyracing1080]

Love the spec! Be super careful with tuning the 488's though.... those stock IHI turbo's are garbage and do not like to be over boosted for long periods of time.

[@normalguysupercar]

I don't think they added much boost but they aren't limiting the boost as much in the lower gears

[@davidrpriest]

Buy a 488, do these mods and it is better than a stock F8 for much less money. Usually not a fan of black ( Rossa Corsa Forever! LOL ) but this is amazing.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah the black on black on black just looks evil

[@814Thegem]

Does adding a different exhaust and mapping void the factory warranty?

[@normalguysupercar]

Yes

[@814Thegem]

@@normalguysupercar thanks, I really enjoy learning about Ferrari’s from you!! Looking to buy a 458 spider in the near future!

[@lockingdiff]

The 488 is extremely fast to begin with. Tuning it is even crazier. Great car.

[@normalguysupercar]

Yeah it's nuts with the tune

[@BallStAlum96]

[@nirmalkrishnan]

Which brand is that ducktail spoiler

[@normalguysupercar]

Not sure honestly

[@claudiobarbosa3111]

Can you do this with stock exhaust also or do you need to change that to?

[@normalguysupercar]

Well to really take advantage of the tune aftermarket is better but you can get a tune on the stock exhaust

[@v12smooth82]

So sick. Have a F’ing blast!

[@normalguysupercar]

Thanks

[@MrGray-ls7iy]

I always like the tasteful bits that you add to your cars. I absolutely hate black wheels....don't know what you painted the wheels black.

[@normalguysupercar]

Because

[@MEGLITatUT]

Because the individual who wants this car likes black wheels.

[@SROC276]

So did you need to send both ecu or just the drivers side?

[@normalguysupercar]

I don't know but I think actually just the passenger side.

[@only1stefan]

Did you need to map both ecus in the end ?

[@toddjones9715]

I'm loving the black on black. Such an awesome car. If I win the lotto you can build me one just like it. :)

[@normalguysupercar]

Haha deal

[@rossfield8850]

Gold wheels on that for the win!

[@normalguysupercar]

Eh naa

[@Villajesse]

Just out of curiosity, did you need to pull both ECU’s?

[@normalguysupercar]

I think just the passenger

Hey Dan, I’d love to take my new Roma to the twisted sisters once I get done with the Novitec stage 3 tune. Is that something you guys might be interested in?

[@normalguysupercar]

Possibly but it depends on a lot of things

[@gnashsang]

@@normalguysupercar that would be really cool if we could. I’d love to hang out and meet you sometime. Let me know what works for you. I’m in Austin weekly, as I’m only an hour away in Horseshoe Bay.

[@normalguysupercar]

They didn't say

[@jimjones1505]

Hey Dan,how much for a tune for my 360?

[@normalguysupercar]

I'm not sure but probably $2-3k.

[@jeoboden]

Could you put a 458 motor in the 488?

[@normalguysupercar]

Possibly with a lot of work and different computers but why?

That's good to know for the future

[@organiccold]

What a beast😮

[@normalguysupercar]

Yup

[@sander16v11]

Carbon mirrors, carbon intake blade, carbon diffuser, carbon splitter, carbon side skirts… there’s quite a bit to do. To be honest, your only adding weight if your just sticking carbon fiber over plastic panels.

[@GM-fh5jp]

Those new parts will be *replacing* the existing plastic trim parts so no, weight won't increase.

[@normalguysupercar]

Most of the parts are replacements not just overlays

[@NoWay23548]

After your test drive of that Tesla, nothing compares. 😂

[@normalguysupercar]

Honestly this is better

[@Artofwar3004]

Not to be the "Well actually..." neck beard, even thought that's exactly what I'm doing, but I can speak from recent experience the 360 ECUs are definitely not in the passenger compartment.

Yes I misspoke

As quick as the 720S Spider?

pull the ECU fuses

[@shovel_head80]

How much

[@normalguysupercar]

For the tune? $3k

[@charlescri9635]

I would be afraid to tune the expensive 488 could void warranty… unless warranty is over ?

[@normalguysupercar]

I think the warranty is over

[@MarcSob22]

all cars need to be tune, a friend from Monaco modified even his LaFerrari and F40, stock cars are not on the limit, his daily car nowadays is an F8 stage 2, with almost 1000whp, it has already driven more than 30000km in less than a year and a half and has not had the slightest problem, last Thursday he posted a story on instagram showing the result of more a tuning in one of his Ferraris, if done right the tuning makes all the difference!

[@jesvans]

@@MarcSob22 sure. but a lot of people don't need or want or should have, that much power.

[@charlescri9635]

I have driven the 488 spider and thought it was really fast already… I know hp is limited in 1 to 3rd gear to save clients from killing themselves … I could only imagine how fast it is after the tune ! Great video!
