no flash is the same and no car's power output is the same. each car will make its own power on the same map. a ix with TBE, mbc, and intake (which is NOT necessary) can take you to 300hp. you're in so cal, there's a LOT of choices...two popular ones are Scott Gray and TT. note that if you go to TT they'll highly recommend a fuel pump

that's what I was thinking. I was looking at the Vishnu stage 0, but I saw other reflashes for half the price. I just wanted to know if one is know to make more horesepower to the wheels than another. I was looking for an average gain, and is it worth spending the extra money over others?

Ditto I would also like to know why the Vishnu is so much money?

Custom tuned Ecuflash is the most efficient/cost effective reflash option for our cars. Vishnu costs a lot because Shiv uses Ecutek which has a licensing fee. You live in NJ so just go to Turbotrix or Sean Ivey for your tuning needs and call it a day! I'm sure you'll be happy.

Fyi, $700 is for initial Ecutek reflash.
Any further reflash would cost around $200.
Be advised that we used dynojet dyno with 93 octane for following results.

I don't have any idea what my stock reading was.
My initial reading was done after K n N drop in and Perrin catback only.
With Shiv's custom reflash, I was able to gain 56 whp and 65 lb-ft of torque.

this is the best bang for the buck but its not nearly as effective as a custom flash on a dyno. IMO, spend the extra $300 and get your car custom tuned. You'll make more power and you can actually see whats going on with your car.

EDIT: You're in socal so why on earth are you even asking? There is one clear choice for you: Tuning Technologies.
