M-Engineering's calibration for the naturally aspirated 4.5-liter V8 Ferrari 458 sharpens throttle response, removes the top speed limiter and revises air/fuel ratios and ignition timing. It is offered for the 458 Italia and the 458 Speciale.
On the 458, M-Engineering quotes an increase of +25whp and +20 lb-ft with its Stage 1 tune. On the 458 Speciale, Stage 1 is quoted at +30whp and +25 lb-ft. M-Engineering does not state the fuel used for these figures. Both figures are measured at the wheels, and results depend on the car and its condition. M-Engineering states that the factory safety strategies stay in place, so the car keeps the protections Ferrari engineered into the stock calibration.
Installation is a bench procedure. The 458 ECU is removed and sent to M-Engineering HQ, where the calibration is flashed, and it is returned to you. M-Engineering's typical turnaround is about 24 hours after the ECU arrives, so plan for shipping time in both directions. No flashing tool or license is needed for this product.

Is this a bench flash or an OBD flash?
Bench. The 458 ECU is removed and sent to M-Engineering HQ, flashed and returned. Typical turnaround is about 24 hours after it arrives, plus shipping.
How much power will I gain?
M-Engineering quotes +25whp and +20 lb-ft for the 458 and +30whp and +25 lb-ft for the 458 Speciale with Stage 1. These are wheel figures, not crank figures. M-Engineering does not state the fuel used for these figures.
Is the factory safety logic kept?
Yes. M-Engineering states the OEM safety strategies are retained.
