Default D5T5 power optimization

Has anyone used the D5T5 power optimizations for there car.
i have only used D5T5 VDASH for coding some new injectors.

i have been doing all the servicing items on my XC90 D5 200hp T18 version and making sure it is running OK and is up to the job of having a little extra power.

now the D5 engine is in tip top condition, i am considering going for the D5T5 otimiztion to from 147KW (200hp) to 174KW (233hp) for 199 Euro.

i have done a about 1000 miles in the XC90 since i bought it and the 200hp D5 engine is a bit gutless when dragging a 2200kg car aroud.

i am used to daily driving 340hp Legnum VR4 1550kg.

i did not buy the XC90 to be a quick car but it is still a bit gutless.

What i should do is dyno the XC90 before an after to make sure i am starting from about 200 hp and end up at 233hp to prove i am getting what i am paying for.

does anyone else have any experiance of using this power upgrade option.
i know it is just an general map upgrade and not tailored for my exact D5 engine so it will be leaving a lot of unused power on the table as it has to be a safe tune for all D5 engnes. is only and mild tune/upgrade suitable for all fuel grades and weather condition etc.

Any info on this Topic would be greatly appreciated.

i know you get to download and install the new software from D5T5 but do you get a copy of your standard tune saved as to your D5T5 account as well. so you can switch back and forth if and when you want to.
