I have the MadDad midpipe and OEM downpipes (among other things, see sig).

When I asked MHD whether I should run stage 1+ or stage 2+ OTS maps, they recommended stage 2 for the 1M. On stage 2+ maps, at WOT power deliver is smooth and logs look good but above about 5k RPMs actual load is slightly lower than load requested. Part throttle is perfect up to about 60% pedal input, but I have power surges if I ask for anything between about 60% to 80% pedal input. This occurs on 91, 93 or 95 octane maps (properly fueled). Just yesterday I decided to shell out another $49 for the Stage 1 pack, and flashed Stage 1+ 93 Octane. So far it seems the surging issue is solved.

My suspicion is that despite the 1M having better flowing downpipes/high flow cats compared to other N54 cars, they are not quite good enough for Stage 2+ power levels.
