ECU Flash

Hey Guys!
Just wanted to give feedback on the Flash Dan did @ Vivid Racing.
As Dan noted it was over 100 degrees when we did this flash.
It's been just over a week since we did it and this is what I've noticed:
1. As others have noted the car is stronger in the low to mid rpm range, just seems to pull right on thru the rpms, it seemed before to have a slight dip or hesitation as you would go thru the rpm range.
2. It just seems to be more responsive in overall drivability. It just feels better! It sort of feels somewhat like the sport button is on but without that throttle sensitivity. The throttle seems more responsive but not sensitive. Hope that makes sense!
The reason Dan and I did the dyno is because we wanted a real world honest answer to the actual HP change to the rear wheels. As you all have noted there are ridiculous claims out but these are real. Dan is posting the truth.
Like Dan said, not many of us drive around at 6500 RPMs to feel the peak HP, what we will feel is the torque and the the low to mid range changes. This car is my daily driver.
To me, for the money the flash is a great Mod AND the ability to flash back to the original file. The car feels faster, sounds better (agency power mufflers) and feels much more fun to drive. I'm glad I did it.
If any are thinking of getting the flash I would encourage you to go with Dan at Vivid Racing. I was lucky enough to live close and go into Vivid. Before I went, Dan and I talked on E-mail several times........he answered most the time in minutes ( he must live at the keyboard) He always answered my questions right away. I found him to be very honest and great to work with. He does what he says and stands behind it. I didn't know him before doing this and don't work for Vivid. I think it's hard these days to find good products and good customer service but Dan is the real deal!
So give him a try......you won't be disappointed.
Thanks Dan for all your help! If anyone has questions let me know!
