I just got back from a fast drive to my dealership and to me power delivery is instant now the car feels much quicker then before to me. In response to suyfergirl all this modification does is change your start point from smooth to hard. It will still adapt and to me it saves gas since there are less dead points where id of ended up using more throttle. As long as you play it safe and let the ecu remap there should be no probs.

You disconnect the battery and reset the ECU, then you floor it through all the gears. That way, the ECU maps your aggressive driving and sets to that. Doing it the opposite way will just leave you with an unmapped ECU.
