$840 for 10-20 hp increse depends on engine size and the fuel you use(91 or 93)
Want to know if anyone have it already ?? Do you really feel the difference ??the speed limiter will be remove !! I may think about it if cost like $500 instead $840 !! Because the hp increase only about 10 hp for me in CA(91 gas only !
) Don't think it worth the money tho !!

Last power mod will be the flash/ecu upgrade/tuning, so that the ecu will be programmed and tuned to the other power mods that I'd have on the engine. That's just my $.02

Chipping a C350
Reportedly I could gain 20-25 Hp by letting them flash the chip for $840.
Sooo when my dealer re-flashes my chip back to factory defaults do I get a "do over" or do I fork out another $840?

In that event, I wouldn't be surprised if you'd have to fork up another $840 to have the ECU re-flashed / tuned. You'd have to check with Powerchip and/or Evosport for that. Not very many companies (Euro or JDM tuning) offer re-flashes for free. Some offer discounted rates, others may re-flash if they have your specific engine information stored. In essence it all comes down to the company policies as far as "re-flash" is concerned.

Modding is not an overnight success. Most of these drivers don't even know how to get their cars dyno'd so can we expect a simple chip to cure our needs.
