I did NOT make the statement to start a frigging pissing contest, which I'm sick of on this damn board. If you read my post carefully I was careful to specify the following:

"at this point for their specific approach to tuning the Evo."

They have a particular approach, as does Vishnu, etc, and I'm not comparing apples to oranges. So chill. I've done fine on road courses with the car, and I'm happy with it. Bring your huge horsepower car to T-hill in feb. and let's see if you put a bunch of time on me. with YOU driving the car, not Paul, etc. I'm sick of this ****.

What does Works charge for returning P2 customers to get reflashed for future modifications?

So what is their specific approach to tuning. Pretty vague and a lil misleading. Trying to mislead a potential Evo owner by saying they are peerless is not cool. Works does offer good customer service,support, and makes decent reliable power. Their cons are they are conservative(power wise Evo has bullet proof motor with potential that they will not extract) and their products take a while to receive when you order. FWIW I would still be a Works customer but after the p2,tb,and AB I was stuck waiting for the rest of the exhaust,cams, and other products that were supposed to be out. I remember the big x-mas release/sale but the parts were always on back order etc. Yeah my lack of patience in this case ended up being a good thing. BTW Percy equal drivers = you lose badly if our Evos race. That is the only quantifiable way to compare whose car is a better track car.

I'm not gonna prolong this. Good luck with whatever path for improving your car that you choose. The issue is redundent and has been beat to death many times over. Maybe I'll see you at a road course some time.


Peace.

I hope I see you at a road course also. No hard feelings I just see things a lil different and i have been on both sides of the fence. Good luck with your evo also and I hope Works continues to satisfy your appetite to go faster on a road course.

Reflash is free if you add their parts, they charge to reflash if they're someone elses's parts. I think its $50 but please dont quote me on that. Call them to be sure.

Every time i have called them, someone has answered the phone, and my questions. I'd say that's peerless in this industry.

I can't argue with you on this point. Yes Works does have some great qualities in the industry and they belong.
