I don't know if it's that's cheaper and it's certainly not easier and there isn't anything to screw up, install/wire in, get stolen or beep at you.
$395 - AccessECU reflash (you'll need to send in your ECU)
$595 - AccessPort (no need to send/touch ECU - multiple maps with switching)
Last time I checked the wire-in gizmos end up costing right around the same price a the reflash give or take $100?
I do agree that you can get great power using a BC and AFC but from what I seen with all of the vehicle at the drastic cost of drivability.
