I was also told that thee is a different tune for running in the cars to that which you will drive out of the service yard with... (wasnt told that from the dealer, didnt ask, rather a friend that has a fleet of xr6t's, and gt's for the business - yes... I know go figure)....One thing I did notice was on my service receipt/invoice it did have written that the car had been flashed and updated, however didnt advise what... I did notice a slight difference in the cars performance and drive on the trip home, however I didnt know if I was imagining it cos I have had a terrority for a loan car over the past week, or was it actually a different tune loaded...Still dont know - havent really thought about it much again since...

Normal service items like changing oil, filters, tightening manifold bolts etc. will normally make a noticeable difference.Back in the early days we got an "update" that went the other way to fix an overboosting issue.One other thing, especially with the ZF, if they do recalibrate-reset anything it will reset its "score" back to the factory default setting...which depending on your normal driving style may give increased performance....and if that's the case then you're not driving hard enough!
