the RPi/Powerchip is a great ecu reflash you might want to consider.

+1 I believe RPi's ecu flash for the 550 will be available shortly.

Some of the claims made by the companies selling the ecu remap sound a little out there! They claim a jump from 360hp to as much as 390hp! All that from a $400 ecu remap? Dinan on the other hand with their $500 ecu remap claim a gain of 8hp!!! What a huge gap! Not sure what to make of this!

8 bhp for an ECU remap seems way way low. If a ECU remap only bumps power by 8 bhp, it is probably a conservative remap designed not to impact expected engine and transmission life.
