I've seen lots of posts here for a $150 download (flash) for the ECM but don't recall anything at $80. You must be confused with what you paid her last night.

A 07 pcm reprogram should take 5 minutes. Yeah I can get the $450 race tune software and do it myself, but wtf?

True enough. Actually it should take less - we're not talkin' over a 56 kbs dial-up line here. They keep you in the showroom fortwo hours while the boys in Service do the 1-minute connect, 1.5 minute download,1-minute disconnect, then sit around having coffee and shootin' BS. That's how the get the $150.00 for the download. Problem is, they can't do a custom download - they're all "canned" from the factory.
