So I know there isn't many things to make car faster considering it already has some pep in its step stock, which is the way i kinda like it but..... My question is have any of you guys ever flash your 05 RL 99k Miles Picture taken (2/2/2022)
ecu or get one of those piggy backs that supposedly you are able to change driving conditions ex. Fuel economy, sport mode, track mode, etc? I've searched and have seen 2 companies that make an add that suppose to increase hp and make more aggressive but I'm skeptical with the prices of these units and surely don't want to dish out 400-600 dollars with minimal results or none.
Just try the pedal commander, if it doesn't work, then return it back. Flashing helps when you have a turbocharged engine, in the case of an atmospheric engine it makes no sense.

Engine power is defined by how much air you can get into the engine. The more air you can get in, the more gas you can put in, and the bigger the bang.
ECU flashing works on Turbo engines by just upping the boost pressure (which is controlled by the ECU on modern engines) - more boost means more air means more gas means more power.
On a none-Turbo engine, there isn't really any mechanism by which the ECU flash can get substantially more air into the engine... if you want more power, you need to look at either forced induction or significant engine work. Both options will cost $$$$.

You are right, it is not possible to get more horsepower on a naturally aspirated engine without physical modifications, but you can fine-tune the proportional response to pressing the gas pedal and remove the delay time on pressing, which will increase the responsiveness of the car, but at the same time reduce the level of environmental friendliness of ULEV standard (EURO4 standart in the Europe).
