AMS only recently started doing base flashes (if they did), because they didn't have a large database of ROMs when they started (for obvious reasons). They have been booked solid on the dyno for tuning for months in advance for a while now due to only being able to do custom tunes. They may now have enough ROMs to do base flashes, but there's no way Devo does, so I'd suggest AMS out of the two for a base flash. I don't know how well Adam can custom tune Evos with EcuFlash, especially IXs which are far more complicated, but if he's good, then that's a good option for the price. It's unfortunate that all these little shops who never bothered to invest in the expensive flashing tools before EcuFlash came out are now able to profit off free software without any up-front expense. Shops used to have to spend 5k or so on TechTom or a lot on EcuTek just to do flashes, and you can see which ones bit the bullet and made that investment for our benefit (AMS, Dynoflash, TurboTrix, Vishnu, etc.), so remember that, too...

I was actually deciding between a custom road tune at devo or an AMS base flash. I ended up doing an AMS custom flash on the dyno to keep the car safe while tuning, get an idea of the car's output and various other reasons. Im sure Devo tuning would have done a great job but I don't really like the idea of someone beating the **** out of my car on the highway while i'm riding shotgun. No disrespect to Devo, just not a fan of road tuning on a public highway. I've been a happy camper since
Sry for going
