those are definitly good numbers but $750 is a little pricey for me. being that its just a flash u would think it would be a little cheaper. something more comparable to the cost of a TT dyno tune or a dynoflash dyno tune. either way, the car will be great.
most people do experience better gas mileage after a flash on a stock car because mitsu runs the evo's so rich!

The price of the baseline flash alone is $650. The extra $100 was for custom tuning. Just intro pricing, however. After the new year, custom tuning on the IX will go back up to the regular price of $250/hr. If it's to expensive, there are other options (S-AFC, MBC, mail-in Techtom flashes, etc,.). Different strokes for different folks...
shiv, i respect ur pricing and understand ur quality of work. i dont think that it is outlandish by any means, and understand that it offers a lot more compared to a mail-in or a s-afc. hey, if dave coleman from sport compact car, says ur 1 of only 3 people that will let u touch his car, UR GOOD!

why resist modding ur car? If u dont want to go through extensive modding of ur car, then just get a flash. they are not detectable by dealerships, they have awesome gains, usually better gas mileage, so there is no reason not too. If u feel like u dont want it anymore later on, or ur gonna trade it in or something, most vendors offer free flashes back to stock!

Same day I had my car tuned by Shiv, its money well spent on a custom tune, trust me on that. There is NO comparison to a mail in flash when custom tuned, I went from 240 whp to 295 whp and IMO there is no better bang for that buck.

Whats your point? Im not trying to discredit Shiv, im calling a spade a spade.
