The spyder is all stock this was on my 986, I didn't get the ecu flashed as the car died before I got the itch for that mod. I do believe that getting a flash after you have done all your mods by a company that takes into consideration said mods would eek out a bit more. Then again, I have read numerous times how the ECU flash is snake oil it's all personal choices.

I didn't feel any power loss at all, snake oil refers to expensive mods and the wild claims of gains they make. You can even see differences between the chip makers that are "tough to believe".
