Here is what one of our local members had to say about it:
"Drove 30 miles. The drivability is improved. especially at low rpm, even in 6th gear. Like it has more torque response. The lag is gone. took it up to 7k rpm and it does so faster and smoothly. That lag barrier is gone. It has more spit now. Gas mileage is unchanged. Just runs better"


I'm having it done next week, although i don't notice anything wrong with mine personally... but figure i'll do it anyways.

I'm in line to have this done also. Had the dealership service (oil change) my car thrusday and asked about the flash and they said they had not recieved the software for it as of yet but he would put me down for it so when they do get it they will give me a call. From my understanding of the flash it is basically uping the OMP to inject more oil which in some cases could raise compression there for making the car seem to not be lacking in power anymore. I am curious if I will notice much of a difference on a 3000 mile engine or not.
