The torque dip hasn't bothered me as of yet! But as it were I am still looking at a couple mods to clean up the power band and give me some more drivability but as for 2017 I have rowed a couple for PDI and they are pretty much the same ... well as per my butt dyno anyways

Maybe I can sprinkle some perspective here. Had a 500 bhp evo x traded it in for a brz. Loving life. Had an ecoboost mustang 330 whp. Traded it in for a 17 86. Loving life again. The car is fun to drive, fun to talk about, fun to pick chicks up in, fun the work on, easy to mod, and the torque dip doesn't mean shit from 5-7k screaming on a uel header.

just over 1000 miles on my 860. It's been a while since I've driven a performance car but I definitely noticed the TQ dip. Especially when launching. (Can't down shift from 1st). I let a friend who owns an 911 drive it. He immediately noticed the TQ dip but when he realized that it liked to rev he adjusted quickly. Didn't take long and he was giggling like a school girl. When we got back to the house he tossed to keys to another friend of mine who drives a supercharged C7 and said "You gotta drive this thing just keep it above 4000 rpm."
