The SI ECU Flash will give you more horsepower and torque. In addition, it will remove the speed limit barrier and maximize the potential of your engine by remapping by the ECU.
Here are the gains from the SI ECU remap
525, 530= 15 hp, 18 tq gain
545, 550= 20 hp, 25 tq gain
Members who have had this remap, feel free to share your thoughts on the remap.

love mine. no problems with warranty. just dont let the dealer know you have a remap. and if it gets written over with a software update, you could always have it remapped again.
and make sure that if you get it, drive it hard right away for a couple hundred miles. i could still remember vincent telling me when i had mine done "dont drive it like a girl, or it will think its a girl and it will be a girl". you have to push the car for at least the first 150-200 miles.
right after i had it done, yes there was a bit more response. i could see the rpms climbing a tad quicker, and for speed i noticed especially in 3rd i was holding it longer. after a while i wasnt too concerned with the gains. the gas savings got my attention. jesse who does the remapping was telling me about it when i saw him a couple weeks ago too. driving conservatively my remap has been paying for itself due to not filling up too often as before.
good luck with the sale john

No starting problems nor do I have tachometer jumping.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the SI software is re-tuning your car that's where you get the extra hp/tq, so there is no reason for another tuning after you apply the software.

What about any starter issues and tachometer jumping around? Is there tuning along with the software remap?

Had mine remapped and do have starter issues and tach jumps around quite a bit. At 80 mph tachs at 2k rpms. That's not normal.
