I had mine done last year at a CEG meet. Jerry from Superchips did it at Dyno Dave's. Since the computer is flashed, I know it doesn't lose everything if the battery is disconnected or if fuses are pulled. But because it doesn't lose everything, if mods are done, does the computer recognize them or does it have to be reflashed to make a difference? I'm changing from a KKM filter to a K&N filter and I'm wondering if it's really gonna matter. I've also had MSDS headers installed and really didn't see any difference at the SZ05 dyno so I'm really wondering what my next step should be.

Makes no difference. A filter change will have no effect unless there is a bend in the intake pipe or it's over oiled and gets on the maf wires.

I was just looking at who was on line when I saw your name. I was going to do a PM when I saw you were looking at my post. I appreciate your reply. I kinda figured the filter would make some difference but nothing major. I guess what I'm really looking for tho is whether I need to get a reflash.

how much of a gain did you get from the reflash? ET? Horsepower? Torque?

180 whp
155.8 wtq

I was hoping for 12hp to 15hp gain with the headers but actually saw no gains at all. I've done a few mods to my car but I was really hoping for something out of the headers. That's why I posted this, hoping that someone who knows can honestly tell me that a reflash will matter (or not ).

I'm surprised at your torque numbers. I thought that they helped out more than that.
