^I think you're confusing two different things.

AMS provides mail-in flashes for the ECU. The Z-Chip is a product made by TTP Engineering.

No chip. AMS just works on the ECU your car already comes with. So no "visual" signs of modification

I think you're confusing the vchip with a flash.

Just go ahead and give us a call and let us know that it is coming. Send it with your mod list (should be stock pretty much). That is all we need.

Once we recieve the ECU, we will give you a call collect payment and send it back to you.

Tune is $500

Overnight the ECU to us and we can overnight it back to you. Should only be down for two days.

Give us a call to let us know that it is on the way, and make sure we are properly equipped to handle it right away. They will handle the cost of the tune once we recieve the ECU.

Our address is:

AMS Performance
ATTN: ECU Department
1760 Metoyer Ct

Really? I heard something about a fail safe built into the ECU that allows them to check if the ECU has been previously flashed.

Chris now that you've gotten some decent numbers from flashing the RA, how much more enjoyable is the car to drive? Equally important, is the putting a smile on your face factor equal to driving a stock gsr? I'm still very at odds with my self over deciding between the two, I will be making my choice in the coming months. Is there any way that you guys could post some videos of your newly tuned RA doing some runs?

About the boost pill, is it something that has to be replaced? Or is it lingo for something that you do to the ECU?
