I asked the owner of Musante what affect flashing has on normally aspirated cars and he said mid range power will have a slight increase 5-7 HP, but overall HP does not increase.

Hope this helps.
all true unless you've done a lot of mods to your car, particularly if it's a 2.5L. if you've done a lot of mods, it's necessary to widen the ECU parameters to take full advantage of the mods.
