dynoflash=WOW
Saw Al on Sun to get a base flash at VIP. My friends and I showed up around noon and he showed up about 5 minutes after we got there. My car was the first one he did even though people were waiting since 9:30.
All I have to say is the car is running perfect and it pulls soooo hard now. Unfortunately, all this does is make me itch for some cams and another flash. Thanks, Al for hooking me up with the tune and the fuel pump. I haven't even tried using the remapped launch control yet due to the fear of needing a new clutch. I'm sure I'll feel the need someday soon though.

I don't see how it could hurt anything in the long run if you have the right equipment to support everything. If anything your car will run better than it did before. All that's being changed is fuel mapping, ignition timing, rev limit and stuff like that. If it's done properly you should have no problems what so ever. If it's not done properly however, you could be in a world of hurt.

No, the flash won't hurt your car and even if Al flashed it with no mods at all it will perform better than stock. He flashes everything with saftey in mind and you have nothing to worry about. ![Thumbs Up](https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/images/smilies/smilie_thumbsup.gif)

That doesn't justify the question, though. People add intakes and BOVs that actually hurt performance, but you don't see people asking this question. There are thousands upon thousands of Evos with flashes, even one that has recently passed 125k miles. The flash helps the engine run more smoothly and more efficiently. I'm not saying the additional power won't lead to engine wear sooner than stock, but there definitely hasn't been any indication of the nearly 4 years of USDM Evo existence that a flash is detrimental in the long-term.

Does the use of cell phones cause tumors of the brain? Does sweet n low give you cancer? Doe 30 mor p cause your engine to fail sooner? Dont think you can ever really know. I do agree with warr though. It doesnt help but who cares.

Thanks to the poster of the thread
To the guy chiming in about free lunch
I have guys driving my flash tuned evos now for 3 years and some with over 100,000 miles - not one tuning related engine failure today edven with over 3500 of these Dyno Flash mad men on the road
In reality the flash tuned evos experience less engine related failure than 100% stgock evos
I will not lie though your clutch is going to take a beating when you start making the big power
