Interesting - I'm not going that direction though. With something like that I would feel more comfortable with Dinan. They have a 20% off sale going on till 3/4/11 so am planning on getting my reflash done this week for about the price of the Powerchip. Maybe I'm just too brand loyal or just have been brainwashed

I'll try and pop on over to Beastpower this week and ask some questions. I think they are located in Mountain View.

The Stage 1 Dinan ECU upgrade? That one claims 8HP Max. The beastpower ECU reflash claims 18HP. I wonder if they have dyno graphs to help prove their 18HP gain.
