I would def. recommend you also look into TurboTrix. They offer a mail in flash also. Just check my sig for my results. I have had both. BTW, when margin for safety comes up as a reason for the power difference, I can assure you that I am running very safe AF ratios.

Evotexas your post says that on a dynoflash tune you had 255 awhp- but on a a turbotrix tune you had 308 awhp with the same mods. Was this on the same dyno? I am asking because I have a dynoflash tune and was thinking of doing a turbotrix tune- they are coming to my area-thanks

Yes same dyno. I updated my sig to reflect that. Good point. BTW, this was a mail in flash from TT and Dynoflash tuned my car in my driver's seat. TT is coming to my area also and I hope to get more HP then!

so a 70hp difference between the dynoflash in car flash and the turbotrix mail-order flash? Are you saying the dynoflash was that poor?

I don't understand the difference.

You should really consider doing a search because you are going to get at least a few different opinions. Most will recommend the one that they are using now just because they bought it. Some will be able to tell you they switched from one to another but you can find threads talking about that. This can easily become a which is a better flash war again. I would suggest doing a search first.

Yeah I don't want to start a war. They both have Vendor Forums and they both have websites.

Regarding MY personal and unique experience, a learned that you can get a flash, and then, you can get a Flash. I jumped into a Dynoflash. I should have studied a little more. A Dynoflash will gain power over a stock ECU. Past that, well, it is what it is. Live and learn.

Remember, this is MY experience. Other people LOVE a Dynoflash. Have they TRIED anything else? I can't say. I am not trying to start a war. But no matter how you slice it, this is my story.

If it had been Dynoflash making big power over TurboTrix I would be telling the same story with the names reversed.

Yeah I have a dynoflash and have been happy, but I am more than willing to try another tuner that becomes available when I need another tune.
