Opinions on ECU flashing on a 3.6 motor

I have a 02 C4S... I am planning to install the EVO Intake system (just for the sound) but I am still a little apprehensive about doing an ECU flash...

Have any of you guys done this?

If so what have been your experiences?

Do you still have the stock suspension on your car? If so, put the money into that before doing the ECU. You'll notice a lot more of a difference!

The 3.4Ls do get more HP per $ with the flash as there was more headroom but you still get a bit of tasty HP with the intake and flash on the 3.6s. Better throttle response and so forth. Plus if you don't like it for some reason you're allowed to go back to stock

If you're going to to do PSS9s and then additional camber plates you might want to save yourself a penny or two and do what C4Bliss did when we went with JIC/Cross. They come with Adjustable Camber plates and solid pillowball mounts already in the kit
