If that is the case then it looks even worse for the aftermarket tune.I think that was the old phase 1 Roush tune and not the most current tune at all.

More aggressive throttle tip-in and having the torque at lower rpm does make a car feel stronger and more responsive even if maximum HP is only slighty increased.Usually you wonāt feel a 20-30 Hp but even without the power gains... the car is completely different across the board in a good way. Car just seems more violent probably the best way I can describe it in my opinion.

You will definitely need to buy better tires as well. I went with the nitto nt555r2 for good summer traction and driving in the rain capability. They have been good so far dry and in the rain.I really appreciate all the info and opinions you guys have provided. My first step is going to be contacting Roush to see if there are any revisions for my tune. My biggest concern is the drivability. Iād hate to spend over $1K for only 20 HP and have it drive like shit. Also need to get better tires. P-Zeroās suck for traction. Gotta do more burnouts I guess to wear them out !
In the meantime, I hope more guys with a Roush and custom tune can chime in. Still have lots of time to make a decision.

Which is why the 18 guys are losing their cats . The newer Roush tunes are much more aggressive with the latest 93 octane 750hp tune and even the latest 700hp cal. Mine sounds like an active shooter. I've lost one cat already and the other is most likely going to go also. But I can gap a hellcat from a roll so I'm good.What the Roush tune gets you is cat safety. Its meant to run rich and have a cat saving feature. I believe thats why Jordan feels its better to remove the cats. Not only for more power with a more aggressive tune, at the detriment to the OEM or aftermarket cats.
