Even if there were no power gains, having complete control/visibility of the engine management is worth it. That's the real point of standalone.

Totally agree.
Race boy - i think to clarify this thread you are best just re-stating the facts and the opportunities that this product provides. People can make their own judgement.
Flash - I think you are being a little bit too critical in your assessment of this product. Best to stop comparing this to reprogramming the stock chips, as I doubt anyone would buy this for the sake of gaining a few horsepower. The stock motronic is pretty slow in any case which limits its response time and ability to get the fuel and timing spot on. I've tried. You can add extra rpm points to the maps which helps, but it still seems to struggle.
Usually one goes with a standalone once the engine modifications start going beyond simple intake mods, etc. It would be fairer to compare this to other standalone units that I presume would have the same issues you brought up. And I don't think it is unreasonable to expect a moderate power gain even on a stock engine. I see no need to post dyno graphs in any case.
I still think this is an awesome product.
