Stoke's BF experience
RedRobin:
....
Personally I prefer a map which delivers its 'oooomph' in mid rather than higher range. In real life in the UK, I want most power and acceleration for overtaking. If I spent most of my time on unrestricted sections of the German autobahns, I would want power further up the range.

Game set and match! The SC Bfin map was almost like a 2nd carb coming on-line at 3500-4000 rpm. Not my bag at all. I would be interested to feel a stage 2 revo map, for delivery.
I am of the mind, that the enjoyable part of the Ed 30 is the way it delivers its power, if I had a touch more, i woul;d be very very happy.
The delivery is the important part, rarely will i go above 4500-5000 rpm in everyday driving, hence my not goingf down the Pod at the last meet.
As has been posted, each to their own!

Not forgetting they developed this 'version' of the ST2 map after feedback from customers having traction problems during the winter months. The first map may now be better suited to the climatic conditions and your driving style Dave :happy2: I may even look to change back to this version for mine :wink:

I'm with Red Robin re Superchips and Mac users ! I've been using a Mac for years as my wife is a photographer (and that's all many photographers use) and am amazed now, with so many more people using Macs that so many companies just ignore the fact they exist :(
Regarding the maps Superchips issue I just can't relate my experiences to some of the comments ... mine comes on strongly with the newest DSG map at about 2,800rpm and keeps going to the redline.
The previous 'older' stage 1 followed the existing power curve but with about 15bhp more up to 4,250 rpm then went into a 'Vtec' kind of surge to the red line. The feeling was exactly the same as the RR curves on their site show and I still think I prefer the 'a little more of the same to 4K' followed by a nice increase thereafter to the redline.
I would have thought this was what the original poster was after - more driveable generally with more power but a nice wedge nearer the redline if you need it ... no compromise low down at all; infact more power but not undriveable.
Are the issues people have had only on manual cars ?
I can see the appeal of 'lower' remap power in 1st and 2nd but it seems from what I am reading that this map is just not up to their other excellent efforts .....
