there is no use flashing and reprogramming an ecu without a dyno. For instance, u might have- 4-2-1 wildcat extractors while the tune might be for pacemaker 4-1 extr4actors... Every car and engine and mod is totally different. Unless you are willing to ship ur car with ur ecu then it is not worth doing. Rather purchase an aftermarket ecu.
That's actually only partially true. yes, to get the most out of a ECU reflash, you'd want to do it on a dyno, but to get some good gains with a modified car, a reflashed ecu with common numbers for your modifications DOES work.
if it didn't, they wouldn't sell, and they DO sell quite a bit, and for cars other than ours.

Not that I feel like flogging a dead horse, but what is the word on the N/A flashing? Or are you even touching that stuff anymore, I know it's been over a year since the last post, so I was a little curious. Well that and living so freaking close too.(Red Deer).
