definitely an improvement though ... and the sound is really good. the car sounds mean. i don't need a faster car that this.

EDIT: just noticed that if you look at the Dinan PDF on the software, it really is only a 100 ft-lb difference at 4k rpms. It tapers off down to 40-60 ft-lb at the top and bottom. That makes more sense and matches what I felt in the butt-dyno.
