I've done some more talking to KUK's and we finally have overcome the language barrier. For 350$ USD, not including freight charges, he can reflash 3rd Gen Optimas to custom needs including current mods you have done to your car. To answer your question, someone takes you car's computer (ECU) and hooks it up to a computer. They then erase your EPROM file and input a custom one they have written. This "reflash" will result in your engine running up to its full potential. Estimated HP gains from this reflash is probably 10HP or maybe a little more. It'll be a little while before i perform this, as i want to have header hooked up and running before i send my computer off. TUMINATAH rules!!!!
