Can Shiv custom tune my EVO IX using ECUFlash??

Sounds logical..

So its $375 per hour for Shiv's time?
I'd be interested in a tune from Shiv as he's in California, but 750 is pretty high price for a reflash
[edit] Wow, nevermind. Seems the $750 Shiv charges for a ECU XFlash doesn't include Dyno Tuning at all.... Nice.

Everyone has been asking why the EVO IX flashes are more expensive, but if you price it out $ per horsepower its much cheaper than trying to make the same level of power with an VIII
Good luck with that business model!

But that was also on top of an XEDE, which back then, was $995. And getting two custom tuned maps was usually $300-400. Then another $100 for XEDEflash. If we charged you $200 for two maps, you must have compensated us with beer and humor.
Also, as with all flashes, the initial cost is a one-time fee. Re-tunes are done at our flat tuning rate ($250/hr).

When you consider the competition, it's actually a pretty good deal.
The competition costs $400 for a "custom" tune, but in each map, the leading competitor mindlessly leaves 20% of each timing table at the same value, so really a complete tune must cost about $500.
The competition also flashes the low and high detonation maps the same, so you're only getting half the tune for your money. A true full tune would then be about $1000.
So the products are on a par cost-wise. The expert tuning, maximized performance, and lack of bull**** are really just a bonus.
