ECU tune VS Piggyback observations

Now I have had a little more time behind the wheel of the Weistec ecu tune, I must admit that the ECU tune is much more aggressive when compared to a piggyback tune. The car feels more powerful across the entire range. The car is just a torque monster now. If you are looking for power the ECU tune will be superior to a piggyback.

How's daily driveability? still just as smooth as stock but more powerful? or would you say it has impacted smoothness?

how is the traction does the tire's break loose on initial hard take off.
a complete tune will always be better.
what's better is a live tune of your car on the dyno and the street to make the most.

The car feels perfect, I haven't launched it too hard, I go pretty easy on my cars
