Mike and Andre get deep into the weeds in this one, starting with Mike's development path and all its twists and turns, that got him to where he is today.  The pair also spend time trying to answer the often-asked question — should I reflash the stock ECU, or should I go standalone aftermarket? This is a big and complicated subject, and there's a whole lot of grey area, overlap, other factors to consider, but Mike and Andre do their best to clear it up. 

Along with a discussion about just how quickly the reflashing industry has progressed with what's possible now and much, much more, this episode is jam-packed with useful information for anyone interested in tuning.
