Default Conforti flash programmer

I am looking into a Conforti programmer from understeer and wanted to know the new rev limit after the ecu is flashed. The stock is 6.5k right? I am thinking of getting a DASC pretty soon and am wondering if this chip can be used with it. Thanks

I don't think you'd want to use both the programmer and the DASC.

Chris??? This is a good question for you.

Conforti doesn't have anything for the M44. For tuning the DASC see NickG.

How does the NickG software get installed?

You send ECU to him, he overnights it back to you. It can be done over a weekend, so I've heard.

Correct. When I did the Stage 3 upgrade, I FedExed the the ECU on a Thursday night, had it back via Express Mail on Monday.

I'm not sure why Conforti never came through with his M44 software, he emailed some dyno results to me that looked pretty good a couple years ago.

From what I recall Jim did not feel the gains justify the price and did not want to put is reputation on the line.
