To be honest its not a huge jump performance wise on my butt dyno...


That said its a very smooth power delivery which could be why its harder to feel. Hence their moto "smooth is fast"


Major plus is the exotic smooth tone of the Ace setup.
Some people prefer the missing cylinder sound of UEL.
I feel like long term the engine prefers the equal pulses of the ACE.


Again performance wise a UEL and OFT will get you 90% of the way cheap. ACE + Ecutek is if you want the best you can get staying NA with the option of FI.
