The stage 1 flash is in, thanks to some awesome customer service from John, and it's worth every penny. The whole process took about 30 minutes, including a late-night call to John after I screwed everything up. John was totally cool about it and helped me via a remote log-in program. Dude's a saint. I've had no issues whatsoever so far, about 100 miles driven tonight with the tune.
All of the reports are true: This how the BRZ should be stock. The torque dip feels gone, throttle response is improved, and there is more power throughout the powerband especially at the newly-raised redline. I had to watch myself on the street so as to not get myself into too much trouble. Edit: I should note that I believe this is an updated version of the Stage 1 flash, I believe the same one that brichard0625 has.
One thing that is of interest is that Visconti's Stage 1 flash changes the sound of the engine and the exhaust slightly throughout the powerband, in an awesome way. It's hard to describe, but both my GF and I noticed a slightly richer and deeper intake and exhaust note while doing a test run down to the Sunol Super Station.
Anyone on the fence about this should pull the trigger ASAP. I can't wait to drive the car more tomorrow!
