I've also read on some boards that after 5 hrs passes, the programming is made such that it makes the car feel noticeably sluggish compared to when it was under the 5 hour trial, so that it makes the driver want to pony up for the full flash. I have seen no evidence of this though, so take that with a grain of salt.
Regardless, I'd say even if the reflash did produce ~10hp as they claim, it still isn't worth the $900, as you can't really feel 10hp imo.

WTF?
Where did your friend get his information that after the 5 hours the car gets programmed to be slower than stock?
I hope you're wrong or else Revo is going to have a nice little lawyer letter signed by me if this happens to me....which I highly doubt though, they wouldn't get into a legal mess like this....
