Hi Mike,

Can you give a few quick answers or take as much time as you like explaining.

What basically is Flash? I have read conflicting info and of course found on the net. So, what quick abstract I have read is that flashing pressurizes a crystal? And then that shortest path is taken to that final calculation is out a few milliseconds faster through the crystal is what I have read.

Now, how is that going produce a faster reading if you just broke a crystal and now it takes about 60 cents to repair the damage. This is one way of flashing as I understand what I have read?

But, how does the car industry re-flash a program if not change a chip not bust it with amperage. What is Delphi's approach to flashing? A remove-able chip?

Sorry, I do not know the H-D product. I wonder if both the PC or Tfi units just soft flash the same way but the locked flash is more the piggy wired to the ECU. Is that the simple move of it all? It sort of speaks in the 0 to 5v language. Is not the windows platform is what you are stuck reading is the industry standard to communicate with computers.

So do we smash atoms for speed or are we just running a faster speed is not using the piggy is the calculation takes time as in a few milliseconds of a change.

Did you sort of understand the question, Mike?
