You'll usually get a better deal if you do both at once.

Unless of course you get one secondhand, they seem to be popping up frequently for a few hundred. Just allow I think around $150 to have it unlocked.

The Monty got very good results from the universal tunes provided in the flash tuner from KPM
as id say they would tune them to the thought you would have SOME mods to begin with..

Yes, please tell! I'd been holding off grabbing one of the s/h ones as I thought the unlock was $150ish.

There's been quite a few lately for 250ish in the for sale section. They get snapped up quickly, so keep an eye out.
