Got a Gintani flash, but not feeling it?
I went over to Gintani today to get a flash. Before that I had an SSTT. When I left the place, my car didn't seem to be any faster. Has this happened to someone else as well?

Do a few runs for adaptation? I got a flash and at first I couldnt really feel much diff but then I tested a 3rd gear run to big speeds and that let me know at the power...
BTW what HP is Gitani doing - maybe the same as a SSTT which is around +40rwhp yes? |

You have to figure out if the Gintani flash gives you more power than the SSTT.
It might also be smoother and therefore it throws you less back in your seat... |

First of all, it is not a Gintani flash. They are reselling OETUNING product. Then, it is 70hp claimed and 80 tq. Perhaps you are confusing the tq and hp numbers?

After my Dinan S2 flash it was pretty obvious. Maybe the flash didn't take...it happens. Go back to the shop as have them take the car out for a test, if they agree, then get them to re-flash. Simple, no?

When I went from SSTT to Cobb it took at least a dozen WOT pulls and probably 100km before I could feel a significant different between the two. It took quite a while to adapt, maybe it's due to using the SSTT.
