Now the bad news my flash is gone. Damn, what a difference the flash made in feel, power, acceleration. But, if I get it reflashed which the boys at Sharkwerks said they would do...my warranty would be in jeopardy. Before the shop told me know problem flash it. Now, that they had to replace some parts they stated if I reflashed I'd be on my own. God, what a predicament. Good news is my car is back after two weeks and I added a new mod...I got the Rennline front grill. Wil post pics of that tommorrow.
Thanks for keeping the thread updated. Sorry to hear about the risk if you get it reflashed, but glad you got your car back and its running well. Seems like the original problem was not the flash but the dealer equipment ...

stockid is infamous around these partsstockid is infamous around these parts
Correct it was the dealer's equipment so in a way I did them a favor and they should pay me in like free oil change dollars or something. Looking into seeing if other dealers don't mind the flash....I miss the feel and power.....oh and I got tubi exhaust now....hehehe
