Had software updated, car driving differently?
Been chasing a detonation issue in my '12 JCW Cooper S (N14 engine). The last attempt to fix included a coil replacement and a "software update"
The car drives differently now! The boost hits in a more linear faction and my butt dyno swears the car is slower! Car is totally stock.
Thoughts?

It could be just the power coming on in a more linear pattern that makes it feel slower, or the "update" they did for you was actually a power deration, much like removing the JCW software..
Had you just gotten out of the Vette and found this car to be slower than you remembered?

I hardly drive the vette. I had gotten out of a horrendous base model clubman loaner.
If they yanked the jcw software, how would I prove so?
It surges when the turbo spools but then just goes kinda flat.
