I feel stage 1 for me will be great. This car already feels quick... just then torque dip is annoying and ruins the experience.
Personally I felt gains from a drop in filter and exhaust hahaha so stage 1 will probably feeling amazing to me.

I think some people expect this car to gain 50hp with a tune and that's why they feel disappointed.

I thought the same thing until I loaded the 91 oct v2.06 ROM after running the default stage 1 ROM. Everything seems so much smoother now. As mentioned in pervious post I reverted back to stock ROM for a long road trip before I noticed the difference between stock and stage 1, however, the 91 oct ROM versus stage 1 ROM was like night and day. The car seems to shift and accelerate so much more aggressively. When I step on it you can feel the back end squat as the passenger’s b-hole puckers. I hope to continue to see improvements as I drop in additional parts, CAI installed today, headers, front pipe, and exhaust not far behind. Do some research there is tons of info out there to help you get the gains you had hoped. Good luck...
