Default ECU Tunner !

So I live in CT and there is a Local shop that specializes in ECU upgrades. Bare with me trying to explain this since this isn't my field of expertise.

I have been following this guy on FB and asked if he has anything of is350 fsport and he got back to me 6 months later and told me he has a program for my car. Basically this guy removes the ecu and re flashes the computer program and make the car think that it is stock settings even though he claims to increase HP from 20-35 hp better fuel economy throttle response and maybe other things as well. I am being told it is not traceable from the dealer since he doesn't go through the port in the inside of the car. Apparently anytime you mess with it the dealership can detect it and it leaves foot prints. Its from a reputable local business that does this on a daily to every other kind of car.

The process takes a few hours to do a dry run, remove ECU program put back and do another dyno run to see what the results are. Total price is $700 which isnt too bad considering there is 2 dyno runs.

I wanted to see if there was anyone else interested and maybe we can negotiate with group pricing ?

Let me know what your views are.

Thanks
