SI reflash effect on city driving.

I assume the reflash for the SI moves the peak torque lower in the RPM range at WOT. Would the torque be improved for city driving at partial throttle? Would I be able to drive around town in a higher gear/lower rpm?
thx, vk

Which reflash: the EP3 Si or the 2006 Si?
The EP3 reflash gives a large gain at part throttle and low/mid rpm - the best gain of all the reflashes in our opinion. Depending on your driving style, you can use a higher gear in situations where you would need to downshift with the stock flash.
The 2006 Si reflash makes minimal difference at part throttle - I have not really noticed that much difference.
Forced induction works well in both cases.
