I don't know what your friend is talking about. The PCM can not reflash itself. Once you remove it, it's gone.
I pulled mine back by 50%. What a difference......

First time around, I pulled it all the way out as best I could with my Edit version and it felt great. Problem was, all I did was create a bigger traction issue for myself than I already had going through the shifts. I figured, why bother beating the trans harder if I'm not getting anything but wheel spin from it?
I have v1.05 of Edit, so I only had 2 tables that directly effected TM (and nothing else) in the first place.
So I went back to the Torque Reduction Table in the transmission tab (which originally was set to 99 across the board stock) and moved it from 0 to 50. So what I ended up with, was half the reduction that was there stock on that table.
I was never one of those guys that had real bad TM to begin with. I would see 0* timing right at the upshift, but never negative numbers and it never hung on past the shift itself. I have not logged timing yet since this last change, but it feels pretty good as is now.

Tom... I already have probably the best transmission on the market so a shiftkit isnt an option.
I think I might be having an issue with high line pressures though. My car still seems to BOG when it shifts into second. It doesn't do it in 3rd anymore though. I dun get it.
Owell...... maybe I'll just through some 4.10 gears and some 28's to try to make up for it.
