An abarth with the magnetti marelli box on the same dyno makes 180 whp. The difference in power across the curve is pretty stark. Piggy backs are fun but a proper tune is where it's at. These things are tuned by torque tables and actually fight the piggy backs over time. You end up needing to reset the ECU every few months to maintain the benefit.
