M-Flash coming... will try to dyno!

I am getting the M-Flash done on Wed (04/28/04) this week. I am currently on a pre-L flash of the ECU. Since I have base dyno runs with the car I am curious to see if anything happens to the curve after the M flash. I will see if I can squeeze in a few runs after the flash. I'll post results here if I do...

I'd like to know, I just got it done and it seems to have a tad bit more power. Others have said is seems faster too

Keep us posted.

Post the comparison graph if you can! I'm curious to see if there is any difference across the whole power band, not just the peak power.

friday night at the NW Rotary Rally a K flash or earlier 8 pulled 163 on a dynojet. a second K flash or earlier 8 with a custom exhaust pulled 177. Saturday night in the same location with virtually the same conditions a stock M flashed 8 pulled 173. all 3 went into limp mode near the end of the runs and this can clearly be seen on the graphs. also the two friday would not reset even after taking of the battery cable evrthing did not right itself until the next morning. however the M flashed car merely flashed the abs light until it was turned off and back on when it promptly reset itself. so there is more to M than just hp and mileage.

Interesting post... would LOVE to see the graphs! I can say that I have NOT noticed much change in the way the car is running with the M-flash so far... but... the dyno might show otherwise.
