The car had slower spool then normal but that didnt affect the power. We tried a couple things to make it spool faster but to no avail.
It would be same quality to what we have here in AUS, 98RON = US 93
FWIW 500hp = ~370kw, that's a solid 70-80kw (~100hp) higher than what anybody else in AUS has achieved on pump gas with a Red. The tuners out here must be doing something horribly wrong LOL

Yeap you are right about the power level. No one here in NZ can produce the same results either.

Dynojet figures are basically ~15% higher than the average Mainline/DD dyno we usually use here in Australia.
So thats ~317wkw, which for 28psi and those breathing mods is bang on.
I bang out 270-320wkw setups regularly on 98 octane here, so its no different really.
The last Red I did on 98 went 285wkw on 22psi on my dyno, which is ~440whp Dynojet.

Tuners over here dont even achieve these results on hub dyno over here so...
I'm reading great things about Link. When the time comes it will be a tough choice between Haltech and Link.
Have you tried Haltech? If so, which software do you prefer? Sorry for going OT.
I have tried Haltech, and switched back to oem ecu. I found it much easier to tune and had better failsafe. Also, the oem has flexfuel capacity now, can't beat that
iv found VD is 16% higher reading then our New Zealand Dynopack hub dynos. This was just in comparison to a Dynopack at the local reputable workshop. In New Zealand we have 3 petrol companies that offer 98Ron octane. I do know that 1 of the 3 petrol companies 98ron when compared to U.S equal to 94 octane.
In the last 2 months Iv also change my set up slightly and had a recent touch up tune which produced a little bit more power.
