I'd been going back and forth about whether or not to do a tune with or without a header on my car. I've read all the threads and watched all the youtube videos. From what I understand, it seems the benefits of a tune and header are most noticeable on pre-2017 cars, and less so on 2017+.

Has anyone with a 2017+ done a tune w/ or w/o a header? Can you really feel the difference? I don't care about shaving tenths of a second off some time, or a performance improvement that can only be measured on a dyno or a stopwatch. To me it would only be worthwhile if I can feel it in the seat of my pants (the only dyno that matters to me).

Thanks!

I have a 2020. I did the OFT Stage 1 and did not feel it helped much with the torque dip.

Switched to the Wayno Roms tune and that really helped smooth out the dip. You don't really feel the car falling into it, but get a nice little kick around 5K RPMs.
