Talking Had my stage 2 car reflashed by dealer and Wow!

Ok So I just had my car reflashed about 4 hours ago and I will tell you guys this, Go get this done!

The car runs smother, the power is smother and best of all, It makse more power now!
I know I know its not suposed to but my car didnt run right befor and now it dose. So its making more power. It was runing mad rich befor and seams to run alot less rich now.

And the car dosnt hesitat during the 1-2 shift any more. I can now spin the tires dering the 1-2 shift where befor all it did was bogg.

Later.

Sweet sounds good. Now the only issue is making sure the dealership does the new reflash and not the old. How can I prevent this from happening?

Just tell them you need the flash that fixes the CEL problem and you should get the right flash.

The car runs so much beter and pulls alot harder in the uper RPM and alot smother threw the hole RPM range.

This is what the Stage 2 flash should have been in the first place.

later

No I did not take off my mods the dealer was cool about it. Infact they dont even have to open the hood to do it.

Its free if you already have stage 2 and if you dont then whne you get stage 2 they should do this flash the first time.

question, is this reflash better than the Intense reprogrammed PCM for stage 3?

I question it because when I power shift into second all I get is bogging and clutch burning.....sounds like this is fixed now.....

Probably not as good no. But it is alot beter then the first tune GM did.

It should fix the bogg but the clutch problem is somthing els all together.

Im doing some testing now but I think I have a fix for this as long as you have not been sliping your clutch to long.

Ill post on that later after my testing is done and I have data to back up what Im going to say becouse most are going to flame the hell out of me for saying it.
