I Just installed the Stage 1 map myself. My initial feelings were about identical to yours above. It Idles a little higher but it does idle so much smoother now, a lot less bouncing around. I also felt like when I was slowly rolling out or leaving from a stop it felt like it was more hesitant or willing to stall out, which it didn't... I took it out for about a 30 minute drive and by the end I have to say I am very happy with the results. The tune didn't really create a throw you back in your seat feel but after a number of good pulls I started to notice how much smoother it felt as it wound up. I also noticed that it felt more eager to take off as I was slowly cruising along. the power felt much more consistent.

Take it around for a bit let the ECU relearn itself a little and try to see if you can really notice the consistency in power and the slight increase in the greater RPM's.
