Didn't think they could chip (or for this ecu reflash) it at the moment because it's the new Black Oak ecu. Any one know any different?

There is a uni chip that works on them and a few people have had them fitted really like them. Personally I would go for the Bluefin, if you just wanted the car chipped.

Over here the ST (called SVT) has 2 variations of the bluefin available - the Diablo Predator and the X-Calibrator. Both see gains of around 5-6bhp but alot more throughout the rev range and they take away the stumbling rpm and slow pick up in first gear. Soon as I get some cash I'm having mine done.
