For those that dont frequent the QLD section, a ECU reflash group buy is taking place next month, flying Steve up from SKR in SA to reflash the Factory ECUs for those wishing to do it. I posted this question in the QLD section but thought more peeps may read this.
I am trying to establish if it is going to be worth my while and $$ ditching the Emanage i currently have and getting a reflash. It is something i would do if i did not already have one, but am i gonna be getting a worthwhile benefit if either way I was to stop modding. The most I may do is redial cams but before reflash if worth it.

An SKR flash-tune will be better than your current set-up seeing that you're not doing any more mods.
Steve can adjust everthing on the ecu,not just the stuff a piggy-back can, or should i say can't.

Tony ive answered your PM regarding the above.

At the end of the day its up to you, im not a fan of piggyback ECU's, but they do have a place in the modified car scene.
The BA/BF falcon boys found out once the "fashtuner" came out, that the unichip etc just didnt cut the mustard anymore in terms of what could be adjusted/tuned.

while youll gain a better tune with the reflash youll then need to fly this steve up again to reflash it if you mod or have some problems, while anyone can tune your emanage.

Or post your ECU off and check your AFR's after refitting.

What's your Chip worth second hand?

What other engine/exhaust mods do you have planned if any?
