There is much more shove down low and it pulls really well to 6k. Sure it tapers off above that, but it's so well delivered before then that I honestly don't mind.

As I mentioned before, it feels much more like a turbo'd car compared to the 93 map, but in a good/fun way.

Imo it feels like there is slightly less lag. And certainly on the motorway the torque in 5th and 6th is noticeably stronger in the mid range, and I find I'm down shifting less.

Also, since moving to the 93 map with fresh ps4s, the engine couldn't really over power the tyre's grip, even on damp roads. However, the stg 2 91 map can very easily spin the rears if asked to.

Highly recommend giving it a try, even if you don't have octane issues.
We're you comparing stage 2 91 vs 93? Would be curious to see the difference between stage 1 93 and stage 2 91
I wasn't impressed with stage 1 93 - far too gentle in power delivery (even more so than stock). There was no "drama" at all. Plus it pushed the ic to the max and its was easy to get octane/knocking issues as a result.

Imo stage 1 doesn't really exist on this car, as the stock ic becomes overloaded extremely quickly.

The stage 1 93 is imo the worst of the ots maps. If you are on stage 1, I would recommend switching to the 91 map - much more fun - sure, perhaps peak power is less than 93, but 90% of the rest of the rev range is better.
