Default FVD tune on 981S...PSE cackles seem less pronounced

Installed the K&N filters and the FVD tune today. I think it's still adapting. After a few miles, the acceleration was getting better.
When I sent my file to FVD, I asked for a 40-60% reduction in pops during deceleration with PSE enabled.
Not sure if they did anything (no real acknowledgement of the request), but so far it seems way less annoying.
I'll post back after a couple a more drives with my impressions.

So the standard FVD tune leaves the crackles and pops alone, unless the buyer specifies a reduction?

No idea, I asked because it was just a bit ridiculous. After a couple hours of driving it is definitely less pronounced. Just a little rumble now, like three little burbles.

Subscribed. I am not ready for a tune yet (maybe in a year) but I find the snap/crackle/pops kind of annoying. They were less annoying in my long gone carbureted bike. On this car, it's clearly synthesized.

The big question is pull and drivability.
