2013 Automatic: ProCal and Sport Shift Mode

For those of you with the FRPP ProCal tune on an automatic 2013 GT, how does the ProCal compare, in terms of throttle response, etc., to the stock sport shift mode? And how does the tune change the sport mode, if at all?

Obviously, the horsepower, torque, and efficiency/mpg gains are unique to the tune; but how much different is the driving experience, considering you can use sport mode and keep the 5 yr/60,000 mi warranty?

Thanks for your input!

Not to encourage you... but i did initially go with K&N filter and FRPP pro cal tune for my '13 auto, frankly i did not feel anything that was noticeable... probably dyno or more expert person than me could feel the difference..
then went with Airaid CAI and custom tuned SCT 93 octane and now i lost my warranty, dealership support probably lot more than i know.. but to say... now it is not only looking like a beast but behaves/growls like one too... cannt be happier... mine is 2 month old, so for next 5 yrs 10 months i m taking a big risk... i like to think it as an adventure sport, there is always risk in that but the fun and enjoyment u get is what makes the difference.

Haha thanks for finally answering! Sounds like the ProCal isn't even worth the 2 year warranty loss.

Well he's tried many tunes so he has first hand experience. I on the other hand have datalogged a few different tunes for friends and didn't like the looks of some of them. The Bama one really scared me.
