I mean its pretty self explanatory...
It's no different than the previous tune(s) power wise. The difference is that now you can set a tune for each drive mode instead of adding/removing the tune's. It'll make the same power in 93 on a performance tune as it did before, race tune, DD tune, E50, etc.
Nice for those that tow, no longer need to remove the tune, just set it to tow mode.

I just installed the 1st rev of this tune myself, so more data logging to do. Based on the dyno charts I've seen, daily driver should have a noticeable power increase over stock. That said, I imagine most people getting this are setting DD on a lesser-used mode that may impose other detuning effects. I have mine set with the performance tune in normal drive mode. If I don't get in the throttle, it feels very similar to the stock experience (the Mrs didnt even notice a difference). But when I put my foot in it, it really wakes up. Going in, I wasn't sure I wanted performance as the default, but I have zero regrets.

Forzda3. Can you explain why you have performance in multiple of the selections? Your thoughts behind that please.
Tow I understand .. but why the bump in power on the slippery and snow etc? Have you tried them in those conditions yet with the bump in power? I hadnt thought of more power in those settings..
any insight is appreciated.. Thanks

Yep, my wife drives the car with the grandkids and never changes modes out of normal, so stock+. Slippery is also stock+ because that’s the only mode she would ever select while driving it. The other drive modes are really nothing burgers as the main difference other than in Sport mode is the throttle response. I have all the pedal-throttle tables set linear. I usually drive it in eco (Performance) mode for the extra power. Sport is for serious max performance fun only.

There is a noticeable change in handling when I dial from Normal to Sport. I'm not sure how much can be attributed to engine vs transmission. The dynos I've seen don't show a dramatic HP increase from performance to race. In sport, the shifts are very firm. Also, I never noticed the tires bark with the stock tune, but very easy to make it happen now taking off in sport mode.
