B&G Flash
I have read many of the threads and their website but am not quite sure if this is a flash device or you have to send them you ECU (or ECC or ECM whatever)? So, who has done this? Has anyone dyno'd before and after? How much (I read $590, is this for everything)? Notice any improvement/decrease in gas mileage? How much better does it feel?
Thanks,
Greg

RE: B&G Flash
I bought the B&G flash after reading about it here and talking to the guy.
He doesn't like to talk to much.
Anyhow, I bought a new Performance Controller from my Dodge Dealer ($500)
and sent it to him....after a week nothing.
(I wanted to keep the original PC so I can put it back in whenI take it in for service).
Called him, he found it and flashed it that day and sent it back.
Someone onthis forumsaid installing it takes 5 mins....
well, they must have small hands or something.
There are only 3 screws and 3 connectors.
I have an 06 QC Nightrunner but the extra battery tray makes it very difficult
to get to the bottom screw...maybe the 04/05 are different.
Honestly, I didn't really notice a big difference but the truck only had 600 miles when I swapped it.
Definitely noticed running temperature when down and the the higher shift points on WOT.
Gas mileage dropped a little but I switched to a K&N dropin air filter and that alone raised it 1mpg.
And actually, there were times when I was chirping 2nd and after the flash, it doesn't.
(exact same place and same conditions)
Its never chirped 3rd although I've heard people say it will once it gets broken in.
It only has 1600 miles now and I can honestly say...this is one FAST truck but
I don't have too many places to really get on it.
Unfortunately, I didn't dyno before or after.
I was planning on upgrading the headers and a Borla catback exhaust but haven't done it yet.
Right now...and its too early to really judge...but I'm neutral after spending $1000.

RE: B&G Flash
OK, here is what I've got. 2005 2WD QCSB Lar. Hemi w/ MOPAR CAI, flows, and hypertech tuner, never dynoed. I'm buying some headers (any recomendations?) as we speak. I'm definitley interested in the DC flash too. I have no idea how to have PCM flashed though. I've been to the B&G website but not sure which one would be compatable...Any diff in B&G and DC flashes???
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!
