    50 + H.P. from a reflash.

    2000.00 Reflash for 50 + H.P. sounds O.K. Will investigate further. I already found , what is supposed to be the best 4 WD dyno around- SP Engineering, Hacienda Hts.Ca. Better add in the cost of dyno testing to that price.

    It does sound too good to be true-But these guys have a reputation to uphold. A Lambo tech -Frank Lopez www.ragingbull-performance.com 888 289 1588 and his partner Travis Cattach,www.powerchipgroup.com 949 646 1026 were telling me about their reflash. Naturally I got interested. It would be nice to have one of these guys answer our question at this forum. I am leaving my car as is for a couple more months. I see these guys are VERY familiar with exotics, and are starting to cater to R8ers now. Nice guys.I am sure I'll be talking with them again. (10 min.later) Didn't have to talk...Input your mods and a pdf e-mailed back.They guarantee 40 hp but on 93 gold fuel. As I recall pump gas around here is 91? Lots of research to be done folks.Uh oh its not legal for on highway use in Cali.only.Mostly a track car now anyways.

    I would definitely be interested in seeing a dyno chart with this ECU reflash. No one else has gotten more than 20 hp from the reflash alone.

    Got charts pdf'd back to me. 41 h.p. 41 ft.lbs tork gain on pump gas. Anyone can input their info and get an idea of gains. Will recalibrate everything including running 100 octane fuel. Should be interesting. I have an appointment with them for Thursday. Will report back. PPI sells the ECU and it costs a bit more than 2000.00. Dollar for dollar, the Flash is sounding more interesting. NOT a seat of the pants thing though. And I would have to ditch my Sprintbooster. (LL- LOL), These guys are located in Newport Beach, Ca.
