Hey Jake,

You may have answered this before but I couldnt find it. What are you using to flash the DME? Who do you prefer for software? I have been looking at Softronic and some others but I would like to be able to make adjustments myself, not just load someone else's flashes in.

We use the software from Evolution Motorsports.

thanks Jake! I"m very interested to see what you think of the techno torque...

would it make a power gain on a stock 2.7L that you could actually "feel" from the seat of your pants?

also, on a 2.7L "base" car - for a motor swap or rebuild - what are the best bang for the buck options? going to a 2.9 or swapping to a 3.4 or 3.6?

obviously the 3.4 or 3.6 will be more powerful/faster, but are they TONS more expensive? I'd be considering not only what I end up with in terms of power, but how much $$ it takes to get me there.

For example, if the cost were, hypothetically, $10,000 to get a 2.9L with roughly 260hp at the engine, VS. $25,000 to do a 3.6L that has 300hp or 350hp... I'd opt for the far less expensive option.

if the price is $10k vs $15k and the extra $5k gets you PILES more power/torque..then that might be money well spent.. i'm looking for the "sweet spot" of money spent and results/poer/torque/reliability obtained.
