Pardon my n00bness... Which flash is the best cost/gain?

I've been searching but I'm more confused than ever. I think that the Vishnu v400 is overhyped, and I can't figure out what the verdict is on Buschur or Works, etc.

Is the a general consensus on which one if the "best", or which one's the best for the price?

I'm also thinking about ECUFlash. Do people trade maps?

There will be no best. The most accurate is the custom one that is performed with your car, a good tuner, and on a capable dyno.

Dynoflash is obvious and is the easiest I think.

That is your best answer there. Research and decide who you want to tune your car.

Everyone is probably just going to tell you the best is the person that tuned their car.

I assume you're in so cal so go to tuning technologies and get a custom tune. IMO works is overrated, weak, and expensive, I have several friends who are extremely happy with vishnu, buschur is good if you're local, and dynoflash is...um..my last choice.

Thanks guys. kreionic was nice enough to point me in the right direction. I'll use Jestertuning.com for cheap $50 flashes to take advantage of the mods each time I mod, and then I'll custom tune it. Maybe at Tuning Technologies as RenoEvo recommends.

I'm thinking intake, MBC, O2 housing, downpipe, and catback right now.
