I've had the flash for 7 months now, never once threw a error code. Had the car to bmw 3 times since then for routine maint and the HPFP recall. They've never found the flash. I did switch it to "stock like" map with the handheld before taking it in.

Its not to good to be true...

I haven't heard of anyone having a error code from the flash.

#1 - this is a discussion forum - anyone can post pretty much anything they want. Someone is reviewing Shiv's product - why shouldn't he chime in? I think it's great that he does, and he's certainly being very graceful about it here. The forum would be a ton more boring if this wasn't allowed and this is what forums are for.

#2 - I've driven a Procede, a JB car, and I currently have a GIAC stage 1 tune. Just like Rob said, the Procede car felt a bit faster but it didn't feel as smooth as GIAC to me either. Personally, I prefer smoothness over a couple of ponies and GIAC is really stock-like smoothness to me and Procede is not. I've had the same experience with JB and SSTT - they're all great but ONLY GIAC feels stock to me. Graphs are one thing, but they don't substitute for real world experiencing.

#3 - I like both Terry and Shiv and respect them for their contribution to the car enthusiast world. Bringing their piggies up to where they're at just amazes me and even better, they continue to improve them all the time, and even better than that, we're the beneficiaries! I prefer to have these guys chime in to threads like this as this is what our hobby is all about - discussing, debating, challenging each other, and having fun. Without these guys none of that stuff would be here.

Great post - thanks.
