NA performance Good question 850 1996

I also have a question. Is the ECU in the 850's flashable? I saw this segment on flashable ecu's on "popular hotrodding tv" and it was mainly in regards to the reprograming of the domestic rigs to gain hp and they make some serrious gains by just reprogramming the computer. Why aren't there any tools like this for foreign rides?
Just a basic tip for performance is maintaince. Me and my buddy went next to each other on the highway his a 93 850 and mine a 96, i pulled away pretty quick, the only reason why i think i had the advantage was propper maintance. He really doesn't do it and i do (filter, plugs, oil changes, E/T/C)
