StarScan Updates at Beach Burger - Charity Fundraising Idea

Update 5/6 - see results here - StarScan Updates at Beach Burger - Charity Fundraising Idea

I plan on bringing my StarScan next Friday (5/4) to continue helping out whoever needs flash updates. I just did a software update and have all the current flash files.

But....there's a catch....

I had told Tom that I think SoCalLX should try to periodically do some events that might help local charities. To help kick-start this I would like to ask for donations for those who need flash updates. I'm thinking anything from $5 to $20 would be fair. My chosen local charity for the first fundraiser is Orangewood Childrens Home. To sweeten the pot, I'll match 50% of all funds raised, up to $200.

All previous updates that I have performed at Beach Burger were not done with this fundraising in mind, so there is absolutely no obligation for you to donate. However, should you feel inclined....I will gladly accept and add you to the donator list.

Those with a 5.7 who want the AK TCM flash should jump on this.

I'll be third then. I missed out on the flashes you gave at the last meet. I will be there with my donation.

This has nothing to do with the "B&G thing". Since you are asking about a 3.5, I'll assume you don't have a B&G. If you did, you don't want me flashing it as it would overwrite the programming.

Yes, 3.5's can usually benefit from the updates too. The newest PCM/TCM updates tend to give better shifting - even for the V6'ers.
