Cheaper ECU flash?

Anyone know where to get a cheaper re-flash? The one Vishnu uses for stage sub-zero. Vishnu is charging 750 plus tax, anyone know where to it cheaper?

Vishnu has numerous ECU remaps for most conceiveable parts combos. Would someone offering it cheaper have more than a handful of remaps? Would it make that much of a difference?

I talked to larry ganz about it via email back then. I would have had to ship the ECU though.

How much is 20 to 30+ horsepower worth to you? I don't have the bucks to spring on EcuTek software, nor an AWD chassis dyno, so the alternative of paying someone else to develop maps and re-flash my ECU sounds like a good deal. We are paying for a service, not unlike the purchase of an airline ticket or a good car detailing job.

If a re-flash doesn't seem worthwhile, there is always the XEDE computer that also works with the factory ECU. Then, you can download new maps for free, as they become available through other people's dyno time.
