IDP Tunes - Extreme

Does anyone here run the Extreme Tunes from IDP? I am looking to get the Extreme Race perhaps sometime soon...

Cheers,

I run X Race at the track, and X Street on the street. X Race will lock the TC as soon as you hit second gear, which can be a little uncomfortable for daily driving. X Race has the power turned up a little more than X Street. I've seen a .3 to.5 second difference in 1/4 mile times between the two. Expect high 13/low 14 second times depending on cab configuration, and traction. Both can be smokey until you build boost.

The difference is fairly subtle, but if you're cruising under the turbo, you'll lug and smoke like a train. Not cool in town.
