Finally got the tune loaded. Much, much improved, and it's getting better every day as the ECU readapts. Shifts are much more firm which will take some getting used to, but gone are the grandma shifts that just made the car lagggggg. This engine was butter smooth before and now even more so just with more pull. Better acceleration from a stop, it makes smarter shifting decisions on upslopes / downslopes and it definitely took advantage of the slight mods I have. Overall it took the sluggishness out of the throttle response by improving power delivery.
Definitely a good choice for $300. Now on to the cosmetic black out and I think I'll be done with this car other than regular maintenance!
