A member from the 2IS forum contacted VR and got erroneous information. And then the sales person offered it for $600.
Snake oil not included.

ECU tuning threads are the hemorrhoid of the CL world, every few months one pops up and takes awhile to go away.

^Yes, but maybe... - just maybe! - this will be the one that pops and oozes out that extra hp and torque everyone has been looking for.

The AutoFlash is one of the newest products on the market and it just plain works! We have been testing the AutoFlash on several cars over the past couple of months with great success. Even our manufacturing partners in the UK have been showing huge performance gains on cars like the Lamborghini Aventador, Ferrari 458, and several others. Here we have tested them on the likes of the Lexus IS350, Porsche 991, BMW 328 E93, and now our very own Dodge SRT Viper.

You might ask how this TCUTuning or AutoFlash works even on a 6speed manual car. Well each unit is programmed specifically for the vehicle being used on. There are only a handful of ECU manufactures such as Bosch and Siemens. Our partners have the data for these ECU and when looking at the original mappings, they have come across something very simple. Since a ECU is made for a couple of generations of vehicles, there is code where you can access performance maps. So if you think of your ECU as a CD, right now you are on Track 1. By using the AutoFlash, it takes you to Track 3 giving you much improved torque, throttle response, and horsepower. On some cars we have seen gains of 40ft/lbs. Because this is using the factory ECU, this data does not go away, cannot be detected, and is very safe and proven on cars around the world.

We did the before and after tests on our SRT Viper following the instructions which require you to put about 100 miles on the car for adaptation. Already equipped with a Agency Power exhaust and intake, the only variable was the AutoFlash which had great results. The car made a consistant 30-40 ft/lbs of torque from 2500rpm to 5000rpm and maintained a solid 10-15 horsepower gain from 2500rpm to 5000rpm. Under daily driving conditions, you can feel the throttle come on much quicker and the torque give you more responsive control. With a car that comes stock with 640bhp and a typical drivetrain loss of 15% on our Mustang Dyno on 91 octane, we were very pleased with these results.

I hope it works....
