I gotcha. Could it have been better? Yeah of course. But this is what I ended up with and I don't see a point in being disappointed or comparing it to other people's cars. Another hobby of mine is building PCs and some CPUs and GPUs are better overclockers than others, it's just a roll of the dice. If my car isn't as receptive to mods as others, well, so it goes.

As the guy below you said, the power band is more linear and smoother which feels much better. I didn't expect tons of power from my AWD so just being honest with myself.

 

I was quoted $800 for an Ecutek tune.
