Has anyone tried the Ecu re flash from The Horsepoer Factory. Sounds like a good thing for the price if they do a good job.

2trollfam just had a remap or flash if thats what you call it and very impressed.
What price are the horse power Co asking?

$1195. Sounds better than a chip. They do it on a dyno so it would suit each vehicles mods better I would think. The only thing is you can't remove it but as long as it's good I wouldn't ever remove it.

I've been thinking about getting this done for a while, when the funds permit. Where is this mob

You would need a bigger pipe and decent intake for this to be a worthy exercise I reckon. Otherwise you would be just pissing against the wind.
Do they actually do this for the Di's too?

Would mind hearing some feed back. I have a 3" exhaust and the usual stuff that goes with it.

Not particularly. Most just flash a pre determined tune into the ecu and dyno. As the ecu has to be removed/disconnected to do the flash then a good tell tale that they have tried to "tune" it as an individual vehicle and to suit your mods will be the time frame. If it takes 2 hours then it's most likely a generic tune.

It will be better than standard 95% of the time anyway so you will see a gain either way.

It says they adjust it while it's on the dyno. Might have to call them and quiz them a bit. I'll be hanging around and keep my eye on them when they do it if I go ahead.
