Now "the_travis_s" did the right thing by getting a programmable ECU. But I bet he could get more out of it with a good dyno tuning.

I know this is going way off track, but what I have is essentially a dyno tuned flash.
It's what TDC calls a "ProTune", and is based on their own work and dyno tuning. Now, because I'm 100% stock right now, the flash is essentially an "off the shelf" flash, meaning it applies to all 100% stock Legacy GTs. BUT, it is a dyno tuned flash.

What makes really makes a ProTune what it is, is the customization to the car. When you order a ProTune you tell TDC exactly what mods you have made to your car, and they will make a custom flash specifically for your setup. This is not cheap ($150), but is totally worth it. It's not exactly the same as a dyno tune (which they do offer), but it's pretty dang close. It's also much cheaper.
In my example, the free stage 2 flash, that would be going with the base maps that come on the AccessPort. Now, these are good maps, but they're very generalized. As such, they're not going to be ideal for every setup.

What I'm getting at is, I agree with you. But my flash is pretty much a dyno tune (and YES, it gets more from the car then the base stage 1 AP flash. More power/torque throughout the entire RPM range and about 30 more lb/ft peak. [thumbup])
