Thanks for the info much appreciated.Yes, much more peppy (esp. in a 2 door manual) with gains as follows for the 2.3L:
55 HP (Stock: 275 HP @ 5700 RPM | Power Pack: 330 HP @ 5500 RPM)
70 ft lbs of torque (Stock: 315 lb-ft @3400 RPM | Power Pack: 385 lb-ft @3500 RPM)

The power increase in applied to all modes, this makes ECO mode much more enjoyable to drive.
What this doesn't tell you is you have to be much more careful with your heavy foot or you can really take a huge hit on your mileage.
Pre upgrade I was averaging 16.8 -17.1 accelerating pretty aggressively. Once I applied the power pack, and test drove it with the same "enthusiasm" my average over 2 tanks dropped to 15.8.
But with the HO and torque increase you dont have to be quite and heavy with the throttle and once you dial it back in and use Eco in the city and Normal mode on the highway I have been able to get my average back up to the 16.6 - 16.8 range again.
This is with a sizeable roof rack upgrade and a hard shell RTT, so results may vary depending on your loadout.
I am very happy with this overall, but those spare fuel cans will become a much more critical part of my overlanding kit .
