To me it’s more worth it if the package increases acceleration overall, not only the 0-60.

Does the $2,000 Acceleration Boost upgrade for 0-60 primarily, or increase passing speeds too?

It enhances the entire acceleration band. And specifically YES it enhances passing acceleration.
Just going to play the devil's advocate here and save people some money. 
Ask yourself, do I really need a half a tick 0-60mph time decrease for TWO GRAND? If the answer is yes, then go for it and be happy. If not, IMO, it's money better spent if you put it towards a quality coilover suspension system.
MY is faster than 90-95% crossovers/SUVs out there as it is (even faster than some of those AMG or M tuned Euros that cost $100k+).

Remove all doubt, buy the boost!

So to be sure I'm understanding what you're saying, your advice is that if I want it and think the price is fair, I should get it, but if I don't want it or I don't think the price is fair, I should not get it?Just going to play the devil's advocate here and save people some money.

Don't forget that Tesla Upgrades are fully refundable if a refund is requested within 48 hours of purchase. You can only purchase and then return the upgrade once.

Choose a weekend, when the weather looks like it will cooperate, so you have the time to fully enjoy the upgrade and decide for yourself if the Acceleration Boost is worth $2000.

Nope. Wasn't an advice to being with. Simply my opinion as to where I would spend the 2 G's.

Oh -- sorry. I thought when you started with, "ask yourself," it was you passing on advice. My bad.
Yes. I'm measuring 162 kW from the front motor after the purchase.

You have a LR AWD, correct? 162 kW (front) + 217.50 kW (rear) = 380 kW total = 510 HP.
That doesn't seem right? I thought the AWD was ~400HP peak and Performance was ~500 HP peak?
Unless the power reported on the app is the power pulled from the battery into the motor inverters, and the actual inverter output to the motors is less. (but can it really be 100HP loss in power?)

Tesla under-reports their numbers. The MYP is measuring over 623 hp. I believe the figure shown is the energy pulled from the battery to the inverters and there are some drivetrain losses from the moving parts.

Do you have a source for the Performance 660HP number?
Most articles I read refer to 456-500HP peak for Performance, and 384-400 HP for AWD:
Amazing Tesla Model Y Performance Dyno Test Results: Over 500HP!

There's this article that show 469 kW / 623 HP, but it's via OBDII, not wheel HP:

Yes, where? Since direct drive and no transmission, those losses from motor to wheels should be non-existent. So is this energy from battery? Or energy output from the inverters into the motors? Because I do not think it is energy out of motors to the wheels.
Best I have seen is where they dyno'ed at the wheels and measured a peak of 502 HP, first link the post previous to this one.

Electric motors are well above 90% efficient, usually close to 95%. 500 HP / 623 HP = ~80% efficient.
Tesla themselves claim "greater than" 93% efficiency:
