I drove the car for a while with just the DP and after the stage 1 tune there was a noticeable increase in power beyond just the DP but I wouldn't call it dramatic. However, my plan was not to be on stage 1 and moving to stage 2 next week after IC install. Hopefully, stage 2 will be significantly more. Maybe if your plan is to just stay at stage 1 it's not worth the warranty risk and you just stick to the DP. However, there is always a risk your dealer hassles you even with a DP and no tune.

In the end, I decided that I bought the car to enjoy now rather than wait for something in the future that I may do after the warranty is up. Didn't make sense for me, at least.
