Default aam flash send it or drive there

Has anyone sent their ECU to AAM and had it flashed. Just seeing if anyone had any good results, I can't decide to send it to them or drive the 10 hours and get it dyno tuned. My other option to is to buy a UTEC and have forged performance dyno tune it, about 6 hours aways. I just want to go someone who has alot of knowledge of these cars. And do you think with my mods that I will see a big difference between getting the car dyno tuned or flashed.

I would go with the utech route. I dont think the flash is worth a 10 hour drive. Just the gas cost plus the flash/dyno tune cost will be more then enough to buy an utech.

Well, technically it would cost less to drive down and get it flashed/tuned. But it would really depend on your future mod plans.

The mods listed in your sig would say just get a reflash. Send it in and save yourself the traveling time and expense. A UTEC and tune will cost a pretty penny and you won't see much gain, if any, with your current mods.

"utec"

with those mods id just ship the ECU or go somewhere closer to reflash. from MY limited knowledge Utecs arent really worth it unless youre 1: FI or 2: running full boltons, cams, larger MAFS, etc....more than a couple cheap boltons..

Typically a flas is great for bolt ons. Depending on your goal you may want a programable one to fine tune for when you do cams, etc.
