If Meister puts it on the all-time list of mods that's good enough for me.

No longer a problem, Moose. For me at least. And no problems with limp mode for the one SRT8 I'm familiar with.
In fact, the B&G flash appears to be the reason that SRT8 is *avoiding* limp mode, whereas another local SRT8, running without benefit of the B&G flash, encounters limp mode regularly at the track. So its positive benefit to the SRT8 community is now quite clear.
The latest tranny flash has helped all who have taken advantage of it, and the Superchips tuner's raised shift points has all but made limp mode a thing of the past for the 5.7 community.

Now with all the different types of flashes available, I'm getting a little confused. I read a couple of months ago that this flash can be done for you if you send in your own ECM. Am I correct? If I am correct, where is the ECM? What does it look like? Is the Pcm another unit all together? Pics would help!...

I'm just about to begin a road trip, and won't be back on till tonight, JBS, but I'll take a quick shot here and verify that yes, you can send in your own, original, ECM, and be without use of the car for a couple of days, or, alternately, you can purchase a second, spare, ECM for around $260, last I checked, and send that it, thus not being without use of your car, and having a pure stock one to slip back in if you ever need to visit your dealer with a power train issue.
The ECM sits just forward of your glove box, and is accessed from the engine compartment. 'Takes me less than 5 minutes to swap mine in & out these days.
The B&G flash truly transformed my car - made it idle as good as or better than stock despite having a mild to moderate cam (Comp Cams Stage I, or 260) in it, and "woke it up" performance-wise.
