I believe that's what @stugray is trying to underline here. It's much more than just a raw power increase mod.

plus data logging and ability to upgrade tunes + E85 potential... picking one up for $400-500 is a no brainer best bang for your buck in the performance department.
Yea I get what you're saying. Unfortunately all I have to judge upon is the dyno charts. And across the dyno charts I don't see much of an improvement (not looking at just the peaks).

I just worry that a lot of people get the placebo + butt dyno effect lol.

But again, I do agree that the OFT has a lot of potential, its useful if you're a tuner, its useful if you want to go E85, and its useful if you plan on doing a lot of bolt on mods for your NA car.

This guy has $700 to spend right now though. I still dont know if putting 500+ into a single thing will be more satisfying.
