Default Hondata Reflash vs Flashpro..?

So I was probably going to get the flashpro this summer for my 2006 S but just ran across this Evasive Motorsports | PH: 626.336.3400 Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm PST: Hondata Reflash - Honda S2000 06-08 F22C Stock. for only $295. It says its for stock or nearly stock cars which is all I want and lowers Vtech to 5600 adding about 16 torque and 14hp to the upper midrange which all I'm wanting to do.

Could someone please explain why I should do the Flashpro and not just get this? Also, how is it installed. It says something about the only installed at Hondata dealer. Does this mean your ECU must be mailed in?
Sorry if I sound ignorant, this is new to me...lol.


Thanks

Jon

Is it a canned reflash that they use on every S2000 or specific to your car and mods? Flashpro + an e-tune is only about $400 more and you get a tool that can be used to take datalogs, clear/read codes, and other fancy things I personally don't understand. I think the extra money is well spent, and there are deals out there on used Flashpro units (I got mine for $450).

As JamesD89 said, the one that Evasive sells is a canned tune (not specific to your mods) and does not include the FlashPro unit (which plugs into your car ECU and your laptop to allow you to modify your tune, view engine codes, datalog, etc).

In my opinion, getting FlashPro and getting a quality eTune (recommend Gernby) will give you alot more bang for the buck, and will also provide you a tool that may prove invaluable for other areas. As with most mods, whether it's worth it to you, is a decision you will have to make.
