Nope, you dont need a reflash for those basic bolt on mods...

all a reflash would do for you is lift your Rev Limiter and top speed govner...

I would consider getting the reflash with the mods you have. Sometimes mods that increase airflow via either intake or exhaust can cause you to run lean. A reflash can take care of that. Most of the threads by people who have had the reflash at Technosquare indicate that their cars gained power after the reflash and that the reflash made the most of other mods they had done.

I asked basically the same question as you in this thread:

Take a look and see what people had to say.

Get a Dyno with A/F to see where your at If your still in the low 13's at high Rpm your ok but if your in the 14's get the reflash done. The TS Ecu is not to gain power, it's to insure proper tuning.

If you plan on getting the plenum and /or cams later on, i'd wait for the Reflash.. if you intend on staying power wise (since you do have all the major air and exhaust power mods, then a reflash would help out...

Default I Agree With Chebosto

The ECU Flash is the last thing you should do at the end of your mod campaign.

I noticed you have the Crawford strut brace but not the plenum. What's up with that?

The dealer will have no idea the ECU has been reflashed. TS does not leave any electronic tags that the dealer would see when viewing the error code log.
