Stage Flash Help Please!

I did some searching around on here, I would just like some confirmation. I do have the stage 2 kit, I got the car with 6,100 miles and the guy that had it already had the stage 2 on it. I do notice bucking sometimes, mainly in 1st or 2nd, in low rpms. I saw there is a "re" reflash for the stage kits, an upgraded flash i guess. I was wondering what information I need to take to the dealer so I can get this done. Also, for those who have gotten this done, did it fix your problems you were noticing? I never had a CEL or anything, mainly that bucking i notice, and it is quite often. Thank you for all of your help, I just would like to get this taken care of if I can.

Any dealer should be able to do it. This hasnt offically been made into a tsb yet so they might not have a clue yet.

Thanks, I did already have that printed, I just wanted to make sure that is all I needed to do. I called them on the phone, they said they didnt know of any update on the flashes or anything, but if i had anything, like paper work or a part number or something, they can look into it. Have you had this done? has it helped? should i worry about getting it? under warrenty im assuming?

I just never got to drive my car stock, so it might have not done that before the flash, I dunno. But from what I was reading, a lot of people notice that.

I will probably go to Lawrence Chevrolet in Mechanicsburg. I work at a Toyota dealership every saturday, I know Toyota... , but my dad works there also. It is right up the street. So I will just try to stop in when I can. I am at College mon-fri, so it will have to be on a friday Im assuming, doubt they are in on a Sat. They said they have one guy that does the stage kits, he is the only one that is certified on them. My dad personally knows him, he said he is a really good tech.
