Default APR tune increased launch control rpm

I just tried to use the launch control after getting the APR tune and was surprised to find the launch rpm had been increased. It was always 3000 rpm and now it's 3800 rpm. Surprisingly I thought the launch was harder before tune. I will check it out more but has anyone else noticed this too?

Mine went from 3k to 4k before I got the APR flash. Seems to happen to naturally after using launch control a few times.

Yep - I noticed this as well after I received my Stage II flash. Wonder if APR purposely did something here for those of us w/ LC?
