Also just checked with Dinan and it is an option with my build date.
You won't have any issue with our software if the DME's are removed and reinstalled correctly. 99% of the time it's plug in and go. If there are any issues were are more than happy to assist remotely. It will be easier than swinging by your local shop

Perhaps one the vendors could offer to come on out?
If there was enough interest I'd be willing to take the trip. Otherwise, we've just completed our comprehensive DME removal guide and offer same day turnaround.

Well sh*t LOL decisions decisions. Thanks again everyone for your guidance and input. Looks like I just need to figure out which route to go. I am leaning toward a piggyback to begin with for simplicity and reversibility to see if its what I am looking for then upgrade to flash if I get the "bug" for more and after I feel more comfortable and the new wears off a bit. I was telling a friend I was looking at tunes for more hp and he was in disbelief that 600hp wasn't enough lol. Funny how that happens after 3 years with my old car it feels normal but everyone else that rides with me is like OMG. I assume this is what will happen with tunes I'd get used to the piggy back then get addicted and keep going and going and going

Honestly a stage 1 flash would be the route I'd go. No regrets.

Let me know if you are interested in a JB4 without BCM. I'm right down the road from you in Clarksville. GMW are great folks and can also answer any questions you have.
Using the JB4 maps without BCM will create some issues as the maps will not be able to achieve target boost. Just making sure you are aware.

Don't want to jack the thread but have one quick off-topic question. What's the benefit of raising the limiter by 200 rpm? I noticed it was an option.

Some of our customers require it on the track where they are just a little bit shy of the corner where you lose time from upshifting or braking too soon.

The car does make pretty good power even at high RPM as well.

I have it raised on my car - I use it sometimes, but not often. We like to give our customers as many options as possible and provide what makes the most sense to them.
