New track or evo reflash

Tough choice!!!! The 215 flash will make the sled rock and roll, but if you are just spinning it isn't going to help. I would do both:face-icon-small-ton
I vote EVO flash
The added trackspeed you gain from the reflash outweighs the extra 1/4" of lug height, and you can always find a used 2.6" later if someone upgrades to a 3"... just my opinion.

What the old one above said makes the most sense.
the track will last for awhile depends if you want a bit more power- track are easy to come by and the 3" makes sense..
Been running the 215 flash over a year now- and the best for the stock turbo.. do the flash and then go track hunting- if you feel you need to.

Buy the track and put an EVO sticker on your sled so you look cool at the trail head. Nobody will see your ECU....

The track sucks pretty bad though! She'll still haul if you do the re-flash without the track. Night and day again with the 9175M.

Its a tough choice. Did a lot of 215's and replaced a lot of 2.25 track for 2.6. There is a pretty big difference in either. I'd go with the track first. Without good hook up you wont get the most out of the ECU reflash.

I would do the EVO 215 flash the track and the EVO decal now that would be even more cool.:face-icon-small-coo

15 if you put one on your truck too.

Track is a huge improvement for sure.
If you think the 215 was a waste then I'd say your set up was off or you have never run something else at elevation. If you ride below 3k a low elevation tune is better suited. Never had anyone say the 215 was anything less than overachieving.

Two of us ran 215 flashes set up properly riding at 5000-7000ft, improved throttle response, ran crisp, except had to change spark plugs on mine as I had the dreaded misfire issue, both had straight pipe, buddy ran bone stock motor with straight pipe, all three sleds were identical in climbing speed and himarking. I ran 2.5 extreme buddies ran 3 inch. I think a lot of people are ecstatic because they don't have a true comparison like we did. They were fun sleds in the wide open hills until we met 3 rmk turbos, 2 BD and one boost it, in 300 ft the rmks were 5-7 sled lengths ahead... We all bailed out of our 1100's licked our wounds on the depreciation, there are 5 of us building 2 smoke turbos this year.
Stick a 2.5 or 3 inch track under it and you will be further ahead.

All over the map...
There is a huge difference in the sleds being compared above. A 3" track is a huge improvement over the 2.5" (I know, I have one, and the 2.6 PC works better then the 2.5 IMHO). As far as comparing a 215 flash to a Boost-It Pro or BD 2 stroke turbo, you'll discover what power to weight ratio means. A new Pro is about $1000 less then a new M1100T, but a BD turbo is about $5K, and you'll be running av gas. On the other hand, a BC 280 kit is less $$$ for the M1100T, and you'll end up at or near the same price in the end, with 4S reliability as a bonus. The RMK will be lighter, but it will not have the torque of the 1100T. I guess what I'm getting at is that you have to run a bit more hp to compensate for the weight differences between the sleds, which can be done for less $$$, and still end up with a reliable machine. Different strokes for different folks.
That must have been one strong stock sled. 35hp more did not make a difference. The 3" track wasn't better than the 2.5" either if all sleds were identical. Never had anyone say a 3" wasn't better than 2.5"....or increasing power by 20% wasn't noticeable. When all 3 were stock it must have laid a beating on the other 2. Hmmm.
I know 2 riding groups that have multiple 1100's (one group I know personally the other one not) that run a hodge podge of parts and brands. Don't know any stocker in either one that runs with any legit mod 1100's. In 2012 I posted video of a stock 800, stock 1100, and an 1100 with intake, exhaust, and a 2.0. It was in that order they high marked. The modded 1100 was the largest margin by a lot. I've re-flashed a lot of guys that previously had 1.9 and 2.0's, not a single one complained the performance wasn't better, in addition to all the other benefits.
I've seen plenty of side by side comparisons of any and all 1100 aftermarket parts. This is the first case I've ever heard of that nothing seemingly worked. As far as comparing any 4s to a 2s sled.....that is about 140lbs lighter and turbo'd. No surprise there.

Doing any of the mentions mods, reflash or track, will never show their true potential without proper clutching. Can't just through a 3" track on and expect it to perform.
Going back to the original question on which to buy. Also keep in mind the track will cost you 2-3x what the 215 reflash costs. Depending on what track and who installs it.

Haha, looks like Cody can't post....it's a conspiracy lol.
At that elevation I'd do the 240 flash. You can pm Turbie about how that flash worked. He had another brand for a few thousand kms before that one. I'm in Canada but I believe it's less than the track you are looking at.

Ok, then I would do the reflash first.
