Alpha Performance tune, anyone

Has anyone installed the Alpha Performance tune and can report on it? Seems like the most powerful tune out there.

I didnt take any measurements prior to the tune (my bad wasnt thinking), but once I have my vehicle back I will record 0-60, 1/4 mile times and anything else anyone would like to know. I have a Dragy which is GPS based and is extremely accurate (even more so than many other GPS units costing hundreds more, I can attest to this personally!!). Dragy is within .1 of a second and 1-2 MPH the same as track based timers for 1/4 mile runs... Anyways give me about a week or so to really find some good times, will post videos of the runs as well via the Dragy.
