I'd say the exact opposite.

The chip is good because it allows you to select from multiple tunes quickly and conveniently. If you're not changing tunes every weekend, (ie going from from 91 octane to N2O to 94 Octane on a regular basis), I'd say the flasher is the better way to go. Less hassle installing, less chance of anything going wrong with extra plugin-parts like the chip connector, wiring, etc.

The only time the flasher becomes inconvenient is when you want to change the tune often and quickly between 2 or 3 'daily-used tunes' because you have to disable the fuel system and do the 6 minute song and dance everytime you want to update the tune.

Thinking big/long term? Yes/always.

It justs sounds like spreading out at these costs makes sense at a club level?????????

haha.. that would be fun...if the logistics could be worked out, I wouldn't mind donating a bit of my time to help/learn a bit more about our cars.

This means i will be changeing my Tune many times untill im finish.

The other thing i would like to see and dont is a Do IT your self program.

I wanna be able to change the settings and tune of the flasher on my own PC. I dont wanna have to wait or pay for a update.

Lastly, Why are these VIN locked? Is it so we cant use it on other cars(Friends cars).

Would apear to be a markiting scam, Smart one though. I would still like to see the Program on my PC in the end.

you can change and update tunes with either the pro-racer package or the quicktune software (xcalibur). If you're going to go through a lot of changes, but not just between 2 or 3 tunes, the flasher would be the way to go.

For some people, I'm sure the quicktune software will work just dandy, but I like (and respectfully fear) the full control the pro racer package offers.

lastly, the flashers are VIN locked so one person doesn't pony up the grand for the pro racer package and then everyone 'steels' free tunes from him/her. SCT is in business to make money and I respect that.
