Thank you for your order. These last few weeks we have had a tough time keeping OFTs on the shelf. We've managed just until this morning when we finally ran out of stock. More coming in next week though

I flashed to stage 1 before my last track day. It's not an earth shattering difference, but it is definitely noticeable.

This is a dyno test done by a member on this forum:

See the 5-15 lb-ft gain from 4000-4500 RPM? That's what Shiv was referring to above when he says the duration of the torque dip has been shortened. That part was instantly noticeable for me especially on the street. You can also hear the change in valve timing (sounds sort of like rattling) starting around 4000 RPM. The tune feels good. The torque dip is still there, but it's reduced and ends sooner.

Torque dip aside, the car feels a bit more responsive all around. On a track I'm very familiar with, my top speed on the back straight increased from 104 mph --> 105 mph. This was repeatable until oil temps soared and the ECU started pulling timing.

I can't wait to put on my JDL UEL header and switch to the OFT stage 2 map. Very happy with OFT.

I have never tracked, but I felt more change from stock to stage 1 v1.6, than I did from stage 1 v1.6, to stage 2 v2.0 with OFH. But stage 2 E85 made the stage 2 upgrade to be as big of a jump over stage 1, as stage 1 was over stock... IMO

Interesting. Sounds like my butt dyno may be disappointed with stage 2 UEL haha. We'll see though. I'll post up some impressions and dynos once installed. As long as it ends up being a 15-20 whp gain on the dyno over stock, I think I'll be satisfied.

I don't think your butt will be disappointed. I don't know what version stage 1 you are running, but I know shiv has refined it a lot since the stage 1.1 in that dyno. I'll bet that the dip has been reduced a lot in the newest stage 1, version 2.X tune. Or it could have been me going from 1.6 stage 1 to 2.0 stage 2 that changed the character of the car that made it hard for me to compare them. All I know is that in this merging right in my town that leads to a long incline, on my current setup with OFH and E85, it feels beastly rolling on the power in second through the turn and straightening out going up the hill.
