Yes. Been putting full fuel to the drivetrain. It's qualitatively "better", but I haven't been able to quantify "how much" with any data that I feel is worth making public.

Interestingly, this weekend with my Continental DW summer tires on and ~80F air temps on nice dry, smooth, concrete roads, was able to trigger the flashing traction control light in DTC mode all the way up at ~4000 rpm's in 3rd gear on the roadway when hitting full fueling. I'm really liking how the Ecotune remap plays with my custom stuff...
Good stuff. You need to find some nice bends and curves in the road where you can power out of them. I think you'll really notice the Quaife there.
Yes, powering out of turns is where I noticed the difference. The rear end doesn't want to step out as much, or better said, it corrects itself more readily when it does start to step out.
