which is best... fcon/vpro or a dyno reflash

Keep my updated on your process; im definately interested in the dyno tune once I get enough mods done, as long as the fee isnt too much to handle for me (which will depend on how long they take for the dyno tune). But the TS reflash is definately a must for me, when the time arrives. .

My vote for NA cars is a unichip or emanage with a good tune. That way you don't have to pay for another reflash when you sell the car and minor tune changes can be done at lots of places. An ECU reflash is much less common.

If I decide to go headers or any other bolt-on after, I'll just follow the $150 update ecu route.
Goodluck on your TS update!!

I guess now I have a reason to dyno at Stillen... each of the two years I've gone I've added new mods and dyno'd consecutively better... this year I thought I'd keep the car off the dyno ('casue I didn't think I'd have anything new) - but now I might get it up there again.

Awww poop!!!! just found out today that TS dyno is broken 
The dyno service tech won’t be there till Monday to fix... So now I can only get the ECU flash update... no dyno tweaking
Oh well, hopefully Tadashi will be able to get things dialed in the old fashioned way.
BTW got the HFC today... low end TQ seems good, but mid-upper end isn't delightful. I'm hoping the ECU tweaks will help.

If anything, its going to be the exhaust system that will make you fail the test, not the reflash.

It does not correct emissions in the event that you have HFC or headers – however (to my knowledge) it does not create an emissions problem either. HFC and/or Headers on the other hand can/will create more emissions.
Kind of answered that more than once huh? (early for me sorry).
Thanks alot guys...
I didn't plan on doing HFC/Headers... ($ that I don't have just yet.) But I do have Stillen's CAI/MD Plenum Spacer and will be getting (hopefully) FI exhaust. After the exhaust I was going to get the TS Reflash. But I don't want to get the reflash just to have it fail smog.
