helllllllll no...thats like for a girl to get a tit job at the age 12...shes still gonan grow so its pointless....(i kinda pulled that outta my ***) anyways....its kinda like you wanna get the basic mods first like intake...exhaust...etc...ride like that then when you do the reflash it makes you get everything out of your mods that you have already done...make sense?

another iteration:

Basically any major mods you might do like cams, headers, exhaust, plenum will effect the amount of air coming into the engine which can in turn cause you to go lean, etc... Since the TS reflash is a static reflash, for each mod you make that effects your CFM/AF you will want to re-adjust the maps in the ECU, which will require you to basically purchase yet another ECU reflash... If you did each mod 1 at a time, that'd be 5 TS reflashes @ ~500 a pop. If you'd throw money away like that, please send some to me
