Ferrari specialists · TullamarineFerrari tuning in Tullamarine, Melbourne
Turbocharged Ferraris built around the F154 V8 respond well to careful calibration, while the naturally aspirated V8s and V12s reward exhaust and chassis work instead. We tune Ferraris at our Tullamarine workshop with DMS Automotive software and parts, and we are honest about what each car can gain.

Performance upgrades for your Ferrari
We tailor every Ferrari job to the engine it uses, from the twin-turbo V8 to the naturally aspirated V12.
F154 twin-turbo V8 tuning
DMS software for the 488, F8 Tributo, Portofino, Roma, California T and GTC4Lusso T, refined on the dyno for sharp response and repeatable performance.
Gearbox calibration
Where supported, dual clutch gearbox adjustments so shifts match the engine tune and the gearbox handles the extra torque with margin to spare.
Exhaust valve control
DMS exhaust valve control gives you more say over when the valves open, so the car can be quiet when leaving home and loud when you want it.
Titanium exhausts
Lightweight titanium systems that save weight and change the Ferrari sound, chosen with VicRoads noise limits in mind for road cars.
Naturally aspirated V8 and V12
For the 458, F430, F12 and 812 we focus on exhaust, intake and chassis work, and discuss software only where a supported option exists.
Brakes and chassis
Brake fluid, pad and rotor checks and upgrades, alignment and suspension setup for owners who use their Ferrari on track.
Build your Ferrari in stages
Start where it makes sense for your car and budget, then build from there. Every stage is calibrated in-house.
On F154 cars, DMS software on a standard engine with exhaust valve control options. On naturally aspirated cars, Stage 1 is usually exhaust and valve control.
Software matched to a titanium exhaust and intake upgrades, with gearbox calibration where supported. This is the sweet spot for most turbo Ferraris.
Hybrid turbos and supporting hardware for F154 cars, planned one at a time. Hybrid models like the SF90 and 296 are assessed individually.

Proven software and parts
DMS Automotive supports Ferrari with in-house ECU software, exhaust valve control, titanium exhausts and hybrid turbo options. We use Magicmotorsport tools for reads and writes where supported and always keep your original file.
Before you tune your Ferrari
Start with an inspection
We check service history, fluids, cooling and fault codes first. Ferraris that are overdue for maintenance should be sorted before any tuning.
Turbo and NA cars are very different
The F154 twin-turbo V8 has real headroom. Naturally aspirated V8s and V12s gain far less from software, so we focus on exhaust and chassis instead.
Hybrids need care
The SF90 and 296 use complex hybrid systems. We assess each one individually and will not suggest changes that are not proven and supported.
Warranty, value and insurance
Tuning can affect warranty and resale and must be declared to your insurer. We keep the original file and parts so the car can return to standard.
Ferrari tuning questions
Cars with the F154 twin-turbo V8, like the 488, F8, Roma and Portofino, respond best to software. How much they gain depends on the model and what else is fitted.
Software gains on naturally aspirated Ferraris are modest. We usually recommend exhaust valve control, a titanium exhaust and chassis work for these cars.
We choose systems and valve settings with road use in mind. As a VicRoads Licensed Vehicle Tester we can advise on what suits a street-registered car.
Hybrid Ferraris are assessed case by case. We will tell you honestly what is supported and what is not before any work starts.
