I am guessing that's the reason for the higher cost, they actually have to do a little manual labor instead of simply sending you a file to upload to your ECU.

Even with the bit of labor involved...$500 more for a pre-2000 flash is simply nuts imo but then I really don't know what is entirely involved either.
More or less what I was getting at was that if you are going to be paying a large amount of money for an ECU eprom, re-flash, etc.... It Should come with a before and after Dyno. So you don't end up paying for no or worse performance results.
