His was the third car flashed (you can guess who owns the other two), and it seems to have fixed all the problems. He is currently kicking the crap out of the Shelby Mustangs at the SCCA solo finally events.

He took Pro Solo by almost a second (which is a lot in auto x) and we shall see if he has obsoleted the Shelby Mustangs by Friday...

That's awesome! I will have to look into it, though down the road I am going to get the Steeda CAI and SCT Tune so it's probably a moot point. But that's awesome that Ford did that for him.

I wish Nissan gave us that kind of support.

if u saw the numbers that came out with ford racing parts, the filter/muffler kit/tune, it states 16 hp/8tq, but made 60 lb-ft at 1500 with 93 octane, and elminates the skip shift. looks like the non-racers like the kit cause of the extra enjoyability with the torque and the warranty being intact.
