What worries me about performance software.

I figured I would bring this up since I am asking so many questions about hardware upgrades and everyone is saying "NO, do the software, software is key".... I have had a 9000 aero and it was more powerful than the my viggen in 1st and 2nd gear and whenever "I got on it" the car just stood there, all that power and nothing! I guess the question is that if I get stage 2 or 3 software for the viggen won't it just do the same thing?....I guess as I understand it, the viggens traction/torque limitations are "removed" with software. My car has the IC DP open air kit etc.....oh and anti roll bar and I still get wheel spin in third gear! I cannot imagine what software will do and thats why I am waiting to do the software, I like haveing the hardware to support it and cause all the stuff is SWEET and looks great! But when I accellerate and that limitatin is there....I believe it is helping me some, I think the only reason I have won some races is because of that and I think I would loose traction because of the higher power, I want the stage 3 bad!
I know people say 0-60 is just a marketing/selling feature but I would like to know if the viggens stock 6.4 seconds 0-60 will be below the 6 second mark with the stage 3 software, it is important because a viggen will pretty much beat anything on the Highway....I just want some info on launches and off the line performance even thogh I never launch My SAABs in 1st.....just like to know it's there! OR could software make it worse?
