Depending on your tune its possible to max out the stock injectors, and others may not.. It depends on the boost level, tune, and AFR that has been chosen, fuel type, etc..

IF your running Alky, it makes sense to lean it out a bit and you get enough overhead even at high boost..

If your running 91 octane pump, you'll pretty quickly max out your injectors, and if your car is generally knock prone, the tuner might have added fuel to compensate for it and possibly maxed out your injectors..

What I don't get is why people always say "For $200 you could have sent it to dynoflash" well, yeah, for a through the mail tune, but its not optimized for the modifications (generally) and the biggest appeal of the UTEC is its flexibility, something you just simply can't get with a reflash.. A reflash is good for people who keep a pretty static configuration and don't have a need for the flexibility (Which is honestly a majority of the people out there.. but still)

No, I don't wish I would have gotten a reflash. I love the U-tec like MJ ^ just said it's not the best tune I could possibly get with a reflash. Plus with the U-tec I'll have my base map set up then just tweak it a little bit whenever I get new mods.
