So basically - on an otherwise stock car - the DME has enough latitude to gain the 10hp stated. I assume some parity with would apply on a car like mine with your Stage 1 - in that it should gain something.

In both cases the DME is doing what it can but it is not optimized for the hardware leaving room for improvement to be had. So you are correct in saying that a proper tune paired with added hardware will always be superior to relying on the factory DME to compensate.
