+3rd gear feels like it pulls stronger
+Quieter idle
+Change in sound slightly, more of an inline sound than a boxer, quieter for sure with less drone(on a V1 non-resonated)
+More torque when engaging next gear, 2nd to 3rd at high rpm just feels more instinctive and faster
+easier driveability, just feels smoother

-less of a surge at 4k rpm+ (nothing too bad, needle speed relatively stays the same it seems)
-less low end torque (2-4k), but maybe better mid range torque?
-valve train noise prevalent (vvt raspiness) but less than off-the-shelf tune.
-Slightly harder to get going, easier to stall? (could be crazy), had a rough start that almost stalled for the 1st time.
-couldn't chirp 2nd

Overall satisfied, quicker speeds, smoother car and feels like there is slightly more usuable power. Thanks Shiv for the awesome tune!
Stalled mine twice
