Wow, I should get a prize, after Al and Nastea made some allegations (involving me which were completely untrue) on ****vishnu.com - which Al is affiliated with and has moderator priviledges (which I know for a fact). I made one final post telling them how stupid they were, because Mark is a nice guy and probably wouldn't let Al keep slandering them, probably putting their car in the same class as Al's (fortunately for him he got some help from David, AMS and Pruven) and eventually getting extremely competitive on price on their reflash, as TT is a full service shop that doesen't need reflash money to stay in business. Frankly, it was just plain stupid for Al to trash TT when they have a operating cost and knowledge advantage.
And my Dynoflash had the same stalling problem as the White evo, minus the fact mine had stock Cams.
Al can be a nice guy to hang out with and I do think he's honest, but he just let's his moods and ego get in the way of conducting a business. If he spent half the time he does trash talking and used it to learn about engines and tuning he would be one of the best tuners out there.

If mail ins are "unreliable", then why can the other tuners offer it and stand behind their product. Now you are saying all mail ins are unreliable regardless of which tuner did it? C'mon.

He's just saying that because EVERY car is different. The guy next to you who got the flash might net better results than you. Thats why they prefer to do it in person, so your happy.

And why should they? Dynoflash is not their product so why should they be responsible for distributing it? They could charge for the dyno time and man hours involved with retuning 8 cars but they are not and that is very admirable. that is going to be a full days income that is sacraficed. Sure it can be viewed as a marketing ploy but in turn they are helping 8 people in this situation.

I fully concur with your summary of "Parts Changer" 
I mean ****Flash. Only difference is I'm 100% dissatisfied X 2 . My personal expiriences more than mirror yours.

I don't buy it. There are probably over a thousand mail in flashed Evos driving around the US from the 3 tuners that do mail ins and I have not read a single thread of any catastrophic failures due to these flashes. The mail in from what I understand is a conservative tune and still safe and provides some gains. Dynoflash only claims maybe 15 HP with a mail in.
I logged over 6k miles with my flash without even a hiccup from the engine. I run it to redline everyday, runs fine, pulls hard.

Put it this way I have set up dynodays for turbotrix and they fill up very quickly. They don't need this as a marketing ploy. Having the fastest EVO and being the best DSM/EVO/SUBARU show in the Northeast is enough. Mark is really doing this to help the EVO community because he is more of an enthusiast then Big Al will proclaim ever.

TT try not to do mail ins because as stated every car is different and needs different tuning. If you want a generic flash by all means stay with dynoflush. Sincityevo Just like some people here are smart and some are really stupid, every car is different.
