If one wanted a track-oriented car, the higher rpm/hp range would be more relevant.
Anyway just some food for thought and please give us a report on your Dinan installation and performance.

Not looking for a track car just yet. Although maybe I'll get there someday.
My problem is that I test drove the 8 speed auto as that was all the dealer had, but I ordered the 6MT. The auto definitely does feel quicker, so I am hoping the tune makes it feel a little more lively and comparable to the auto.
To tell the truth, I don't even drive it that aggressively most of the time. But when the mood strikes me and I do floor the right pedal, I have occasionally found myself wanting a little extra. So I am hoping this thing does the trick.
