Another UTEC ?: Gains made over reflash
I'm not sure if anyone will even be able to answer this yet, as I don't think that that many UTECs have made their way into Z's just yet, but I'll ask anyway. Has anyone with the usual full bolt-ons (i.e. Intake / Plenum / Pulley / Ground / Headers / Cats / Exhaust) and also a reflashed ECU changed to a UTEC setup? What kind of gains were made over your reflashed ECU?
I ask because once I finish my bolt-ons, I don't plan on touching the car again engine-wise (I know, we all say that, right?), except for a tune. I won't really need to switch programs or tunes at all, so I'm thinking that a TS reflash would probably be good enough for me, unless the UTEC produces significant gains over the reflash, seeing as how it's twice the price (after tuning).
Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?

Albert, he made 13whp peak? How about in the midrange? When i saw MRC's turbo dyno they made a nice 10-15% increase over midrange with a 5-10% increase at peak, and even more in torque. Did u see the same for your local guy?
