Notice a flat-spot.....or less power low down ?

I've had manifold fitted and a few weeks later a Scorpion system went on. No mega flat-spot....but really lacks torque now. Long-awaited Re-map Monday

Ive not noticed any flat spots or less power low down so far, i haven't had it long mind nor do i drive it daily, i might notice something in the future maybe

They were great on track i'd only fitted them the day before so not much time to get used to them but never the whole time i was out did i think they werent going to grip, there much just so much grip there all my friends i took were suprised how much grip there was really impressed by them!

They've bubbled a little but dont look very much worn at all

Im at the ring from the 5th of august

Only got 3 laps in but averaged low 10's with alot of traffic and few yellow flags so not too bad for my first time there.
