It seems that MGflasher might perform better than BM3 Stage2 though it is younger in adoption based on your post history....I may have to switch over or get a Cary Jordan custom BM3 tune after DP/straight pipe/stage 2.
I think the newer 8AT is the ZF 8HP50 which should be able to handle 500NM so the trans probably outlives the engine under boost.
How is the daily usability (both Luverse on your BM3st2 and Drona on your MGst2)? I find BM3 stage 1 in comfort to be unnoticeable to stock in traffic but day and night different under WOT in sport+ S gear. I'm a bit worried about pushing the engine too much as I've heard N20 was unreliable when pushed hard tho 19 PSI seems within reason...still early in B48 tuning life but promising if it stays reliable

Yes MG performs better than bm3, I know one guy that moved from bm3 to MG because of that and he’s happy with that as I remember.
8hp50 holds much more than 500nm, 340 has the same trans and with simple tune it has 600+ nm and no problems. I did 700+ hard launches (3000-4000 rpms) and everything is fine.
Daily usability is great! Comfort or aggressive when you need it.
