Stock Car + Flash = Different Animal

[BrianV]

Flash truly makes the car much more rewarding to drive. It revs a lot nicer in second and third gear and it makes zipping (or as Mazda would say, "zoom zooming") around A LOT nicer.

I rode in t3ase's car, Flash + 12PSI and it was significantly quicker than mine, but I think I'm going to go with 10 PSI, as even 12 isn't enough to beat a stock SRT-4

hmm, i never even noticed a difference after getting flashed. weird.

Well did you ever notice the hesitation? I had REAL bad hesitation, it made the car so boring to drive, it felt like those radio controlled go carts where the guy can flip on a switch to make all the cars go slow beyond the drivers control. It felt like that was happening every time I hit 3500 RPM, whether WOT or not.

i noticed that the car had much better response and pulled alot harder to redline! def a diff just took a little time to really realize but the hesitation is virtually gone!!!

 

[jred321]

no, i never really noticed hesitation, there was a bit but it was never terrible

Well I haven't taken my car over 5k rpm yet, before or after the flash, but 3500 to 5000 RPM is a world of difference. The car clearly feels faster, it feels like a different engine, and it's WAY more fun.

I wonder if any magazines got crippled cars like mine, I bet even better reviews would've been seen from post-flash cars.

I felt a huge difference when I got my car flashed. It changed from a generally ruff hesitant beast (when not accelerating) to a smooth free flowing car, gotta love it.

it definately helped alot. Now just add boost for more fun! I have mine set to peak at 10 and run at 9. It's just the way it should be.
