I downloaded the app and made sure I was on the "Stage 1" setting and not the "Bypass".

Kinda pissed off right now.
I've never quite understood why you have to "drive it hard for the first 200 miles" to get the full power benefits. I'd rather get the power right out of the box. I bet that if you pressed him to tell you why you need to drive hard for 200 miles, you would probably get a pretty fuzzy answer.

My feelings are that you're probably getting the power. 10-15% power gains aren't that much compared to what you're already getting with the stock engine. If you were to remove the Stage 1 you'd probably notice it then.
