Mail in flashes
I was wondering if anyone's ever done a comparison of the mail in flashes available? Probably kinda random, but that would be very interesting. All of them claim varying degrees of success, is there that much of a difference? My local tuning shop said that they could run a tune for my car but they expected no gains on my completely stock IX MR so I'm really looking into the mail ins.

Thanks

I wouldnt ever go back to that "shop" if I were you. I know of a completly stock evo IX that ran a 12.3 with nothing more than a reflash.

Wow. That's quite a statement about your local shop.

I agree. I wanted to go local but I'm stuck doing mail-in. Anyone suggest the best reflash place? Or know of a comparison?

Al does pretty decent base flashes and his tunes for the buscher staged upgrades are great, scott at TTP performance, and Jestr tuning also offer excellent mail in flash upgrades.

I know a few with Jestr tunes and they are always satisfied. Same goes for TTP, I dont personally know anyone with al's tunes, but he is sucessful, so that must mean something.

Yeah, I went 12.26 with stg1 mods and a Dynoflash mail-in on 93oct, then went 12.000 with race gas...same flash. They work and work well...

Your local "tuning" shop should be kicked in the nuts for that statement.
