I appreciate your feed back

Others have made similar suggestions to me in the past

The limitations of the stock ecu with a MAF sensor are just about 480 - 500 whp

Basically, I pushed the stock ecu flash platform to its logical limits when I went 11.1 with it some time ago

I like to think of a reflash as a product for a normal street driven / daily driver car who wants a very good running and reliable tuning solution and I feel the nearly perfect track record of reliability on the thousands of customer's evos I have tuned really says the most about my services

Also - my customers have continued to set very fast time records with their own cars at drag strips all over the USA - this is a more meaningful statment about my services than what I am doing - IMHO

I personally am not a typical or "ordinary" end user

I am really rather demented and my particular interest is in actually working on my car and finding new ways to make it faster - its more of a learning process and hobby than a markmeting tactic

I like the AEM on my car for serveal reasons - mostly becuase it can make the most possible power and also becuase AEM has been very supportive of my efforts

While the AEM is a great option for a 900 whp car it may not be the best solution for a car with mild mods and daily driven

I would like to think the fact that I have been able to campaign a car like mine with some measure of success and reliability would also help lend some enhanced credability tio my skills as a tuner

Finally, keep in mind - I am draging my evo 99% just becuase its what I live for

I can't think of anything else I would rather spend my short time here on this earth doing
