Welcome to the forum, I hope you search the topics for the multitude of topics, questions & answers we have discussed for the past couple of years... I'm sure you will find an answer to every Crossfire question you could imagine...
That being said, the PowerChip reflash is not unlike the Upsolute, nor the Renntech, or the others, etc. who have access to the Bosch Motronic 2.8 software... I haven't heard of any problems aside from CEL's... Heck, I had the PowerChip Gold 93 programmed into my Crossfire in 2004... Since then, I have had other custom maps installed...
There are many threads on this forum that discuss the off-the-shelf ECU tune process and I hope you will find them informative...
As far as PowerChip being pricey, I had mine done for $350.00 in Los Angeles... And as they were reflashing the ECU, I had an opportunity to observe (over the shoulder) and all the were doing was installing maps for the MB W112 with advanced timing / fueling that is standard with the Bosch / MB support software...
Again, welcome to the forum... I hope you use the search button.
