so if I understand correctly, your reflash would give the following benefits:
Better air/fuel map (optimized for higher octane gas)
Advanced timing
Launch control
Removing cel when having custom exahust(downpipe and HF cat)

Am I correct with this list?
Do you plan on having an option to sell without a core exchange?

At this point I have to find a car that consistently throws the cat efficiency CEL in order to test that feature but what you've written does sum it up. I've got some beta testers out there who are successfully running the reflash and with probably 10000km combined mileage there hasn't been a single problem. In their cases they either came in or mailed in their ECU. In 2 days I have it on it's way back. I may offer the core program for those who drive their cars daily so they're not off the road for a few days.

Has anyone found out how much Hp and TQ the reflash is giving out? Do reflashes work on the same concept as an piggyback ECU? example I live in Calgary Canada and if the ECu comes pretuned for California for example I will have issues. Would you have the same thing with a reflash?

How about an adjustable MIVEC switch point?

Or close/open loop switch over?

Or (dreaming a little) and may be harder to pull off an inyector size adjusment?

Keep on going!!
We did the MIVEC switch point with the 4g didn't really perform enough to warrant using it and most times actually hurt performance. Unless you have cams that are grinded for a diff MIVEC point

Are you talking about the P0420 DTC (I believe that's the number)? I erase that code once a week with my OBDII scanner. When I bought the car, the previous owner (my cousin) had put a "high flow" cat which looked a bit shorter than the factory one. There was no relocation done on the O2 sensors, so that code would come up every 3-4 days or so.
I later installed the OBX Header (same as RRM's) which removes the cat with its downpipe, and the code started taking longer, like 6-7 days till it came up, but I did relocate the O2 sensors to a longer distance than factory. What is it that you need to test?

You answered that this list was correct... So, you do modify fuel curves? I don't see the use (at least for me) for higher octane. I'm not turbo, and it does help, but the price of gas nowadays is way too high to be messing with it. How would these AFRs change if I use lower octane than what this guy is asking for?
