Exactly - and where the engine is a bit lacking and struggling in my V50.
Engine load is often above 90% or even maxed-out in that region.
Rica's E-power upgrade claims 41 Nm (16%) more torque at only 15 rpm more than now, and a 15 HP increase @ 4000 rpm.

I'm more than willing (depending on the price, of course) to sacrifice high-end performance for lower fc as long as low-end performance doesn't suffer.

According to their published claims, top end power is higher than stock, no need to make sacrifices there even though we'd seldom go there

How much, more or less? I couldn't find the price on their page.

Use
RICA Engineering - Performance and Economy Tuning for Volvo, BMW, Audi, VW, Mercedes and most other makes and models to select your car.
Price info is in the text on the left of the power curves.
Price : €580.00 EUR + VAT (€435.00 EUR + VAT for cars over 3 years old)
Looks like they only have a power upgrade for your Svietlana though.
The E-power upgrade on my car is €363.75 EUR + VAT as it is over 3 years old - so with VAT (state tax in the US) it's still under 450 euro (and more) I got quoted for the tinted windows
