AA Active8 Piggy vs. Stage 1 flash tunes

Hi everybody, curious if anyone has firsthand experience going from the Active8 piggy to any of the popular stage 1 flash tunes (basic/OTS stage 1, 93 octane).
Noticeable difference in terms of overall power and/or getting it to the ground?
I'm mostly street with a 6MT ZCP, but will be getting my feet wet with some autox and HPDE stuff through the summer.

Any/all comments appreciated.
Thx

I had the active8, it was nice and made the car pull harder thru every gear. But after switching to stage 1 flash tune, it was an immense difference. Much more power down low and throughout the power band. Just need to get better tires to hook better with all this power.

Op,

The active-8 is great if you are looking for more power with the ability to just disconnected it and go back to stock 100%. However compared to a flash it does have its limitations such a fuel, Ignition and multiple other perimeters we have the ability to adjust.
