From what I could tell comparing the the posted dyno with the stage 1 dyno (both with DPs) it looked like virtually the same peak hp and around 10 more tq. But one would expect not much of a peak power bump from just a tune anyway (can only turn the boost up so far reliably).

Now where the real benefit may be is where the power is made across the RPMs and he mentioned lag reduction. Both would be great reasons for the upgrade, but I wouldn't expect anything like 30hp/50tq above stage 1 with only stage 2 as the mod.

But I'm no expert and will probably be getting it when it's released
20 peak rwhp and 50 lb ft is a nice bump but E85 takes it to 35 rwhp and meth will most likely add 10 or so. Which will be around 45 to 50 rwhp over stage 1. Might be able to juice a little more out with tinkering and maybe an intake. But your right about the curve that is what will make this feel like a beast.

We need more Downpipe options.

Can't wait to see the first 11 second F30.
