So the people getting 340s now are down like 60hp over the first releases(if they didn't get ecu updates). Or the car reviews that were early on were putting out far more power than they are now.

The upside is a tune will net A LOT.
Is all of this based on just that one post by a vendor that is selling tunes? I'd take that with a pretty large grain of salt.
