The power and dip reduction was more dramatic from all stock to the stage 1 tune than it was going from that to header and stage 2.


It's unlikely that would be noticed at an autoX unless you're gunning for nationals or something. Again, not promoting cheating, just saying.

In the end I wouldn't stay stock on a DD when it drives so much better tuned with or without a header. Not for a handful of autoX runs per year.
I've thought about that, especially since it just takes a few minutes to swap back to the factory tune, but I'm gonna wait to see some dyno'd results on the 2017 cars before I do that.
