I guess you missed out on the Dynoflash trip to LA this weekend. Not many people here use Harman, because they don't advertise here and don't interact with our community. What made you choose them? Try not to pay more than $300 for a flash if you can avoid it. If it's a dyno-tuned flash, try not to pay more than $450.

Ah, too bad. Al from Dynoflash was just in LA doing his Dynoflashes for $299 base/mail-in or $450 for a custom road/dyno tune. EcuTek is much more expensive and doesn't have launch control, but you can take your license elsewhere and get retuned by someone else without paying for the license again. I don't believe you can flash over the EcuTek with a different type of flash once you have it, though.

I was going to get flash from Dynoflash but the fact that I want to be able to go back to stock for major services , warranty issues to the dealer I need someone local.
BTW : price for Dynoflash is not bad at all !!!!

Your car will probably be the first IX getting reflash by Harman Motive. They did good jobs on my friend's VIIIs.

did my 05 MR with these guys.
first mods gave me 292 whp/ 290 wtq with dc sports downpipe, espelir jgt catback, hallman boost controller, and a basic reflash.
second mods gave 315whp/300wtq with buddyclub 264/272 cams, aem camgears, and walbro fuel pump.
all on 91 octane chevron.
overall they are very cool people to deal with and offer quick service.

Topspeed has been tuning ECUtek + launch control for a LONG time.
