1200 miles in 2 days...that's impressive. What did you think of it after the install?
Yep - drove it home and met the break in requirements. Had oil, differential and manual transmission fluid changed and then got the software flash. Power with the flash is great. Last car was a highly modified 335 - totally different feel with the 550. Not the same in-your-face power but it definitely scoots for a big sedan with just software...

It will be interesting to see the aftermarket progress for this car over the next year or so. We should be seeing between 100-200hp more with bolt ons/turbo upgrades.

Great post BTW - I think there are a lot of us who would like to have both cars in the garage like cidair^
