So far I love it. I've only had the car one day but it feels great. If you're driving around with the family, you can shift early and it's not much louder than stock.
If you want to drive aggressively, man oh man is it fun. It really slams you back in the seat violently. No kills yet, but I let a friend drive the car and I'm still picking pieces of his jaw up off the driver-side floor mats.

Wow, that dyno is very impressive!!! The best I have seen. I bet your car is a beast!! Was that shop recomended by Vortec? I assume so, b/c they were able to tune your car. Very Nice!

That torque drop-off seems to be a characteristic of the VQ engine. This is where Nissan adds the timing that is causing all the FI problems. It looks like it still drops off but not as badly as when it was N/A. Any improvement over stock is a plus in this area of the curve.
