John has made this car into what it should have been! I have almost 7,500 miles on the stock tune so I know what I have been missing this entire time.

After not driving a MT in 12 years I re-learned on the stock tune, making sure I didn't do this. After switching to Vtune stage1, I find myself doing the same shift, and having the opposite result... coming off as a new driver

Right after the initial flash I stalled the car with John in it, and felt like a noob. It did feel a little bogged however. If you check the dyno's, the stock tune does have a little more tq from the get go, whereas Visconti's tune ramps up a little.

Wow.

Best bang for the buck out there. Great writeup.
