The engine's performance is ok, but paired with the automatic gearbox, it feels "choked". On a kickdown, and it hits 4000 RPM, nothing happens. After the re-map, the car just feels like it's supposed to feel. Its pure joy and happiness. I have a grin on my face every time I drive now Besides the added torque is also nice. Uphill it doesn't need to downshift anymore. More power all the way!

The dealer just called me and told me the have a map upgrade for me - for free! Even more horses and VMAX unlock
