I personally would not reflash yet unless the check engine light comes on due to your cats being gutted.

Nobody can tell you for sure. Only way to know is to go dyno with a WB A/F or go buy an A/F guage and datalog your info. You should expect 0-10whp depending on how bad your tune is now. I suggest you search, not because this has been asked and explained 100X, but because you'll better understand your situation/modding if you do, and thats always a good thing....

Hilarious misinformation. Funniest post I've read in a while thanks I needed that while studying for finals I guess having potentially lean A/F's or detonation wouldnt cause you to tune, just a CEL for cat inefficiency?

Access Port.

No idea what it will cost, but i think you can use it on multiple cars.

Disagree. As mention he need to get an A/F reading to be 100% sure. He could be running too lean. However I don't like flashes. A flash is a guess of what is going on with your engine. I haven't research the Cobb yet but hear great things from Suby owners. However I do have the UTEC, as many other members, and we all love it.

a reflash would most likley add some HP/TQ with your mods , but if it's worth getting a relfahs depends on if you plan to do more power mods and how much $$ you're willing to spend for it.

Call AAM - they can probably give you a general average of how much power you could make from their reflash with your current mods.

Cobb tuning is popular with Suby ppl, but last I heard it won't come out until the end of 1st quarter '07...and it was slated to come out this past September...
