I think it is to much for flashing the ecu.
only with an ecu flash you will get about 450 to 460 hp
with ecu + exhaust you will get about 500 hp

Go to speedart and you get ecu + exhaust(including cats) for about 5.000€

In Europe I would recommend FVD as well. The cost is lower and they have a good quality program. Plus they are local time zone.

I just did the FVD flash last weekend. here are my results. The dyno was a Mustang.

My bone stock tt numbers were 338awhp/348awtq.
The flashed numbers were 383awhp/416awtq. (FVD flash).
(+45awhp and +68awtq with just software...sweet)
I can post curves if anyone is interested.
It was really easy to do and they people there are more than helpful.
Now I'm off to install my FVD race exhaust. Wish me luck.

In Europe FVD has a great holiday deal. Flash software is free (1550 Euro value) if you buy the 3000 Euro exhaust (both prices excl. tax). I'm going to get that as well if no one talks me out of it.

Ditto that sentiment. Very low gains... Hell, I can flash my "sob" and get +40hp.

CSD952, sustained, .9 to 1.0 with peaks at 1.1.

Shark 01, I am new to this game but these gains seem quite reasonable to me. This was also on a Mustang AWD dyno which are known to be conservative, approx 15% less than say a Dynojet.

Shark 01 and NoRoom4Error, do you have some experience with some other programs that resulted in much higher gains. Please share because I'd love to check them out.

Trust us.....that stinks.....I'd call FVD if I were you, somethings wrong. Look at the other major tuners, they are all at the 70 hp gain from flash.

Are you sure all the other major tuners' flash give 70hp at the wheels with no exhaust mod?
