Wow....just took a look at the app on my phone. Yep, that's going to be fun to play with all of those settings now!

every tenth and mph matters to me and sutphin tune got me .3, i especially love when its 'free' power that i dont have to install. i love adjusting a tune, changing nothing else and finding a better et/trap.

The trans already shifts smooth in drive and if it shifts smoother with Xhp, then cool. Not really worried about how it shifts in drive or sport, unless drive shifts will be harsher/jerky. Looking to see if shift speed is noticeable in M mode only. Only reason I want the flash is to increase M shift speeds. |

Sports can be jerky with downshifts but that can be resolved to a large extent with custom shiftmaps. In manual with a light constant throttle, I found the downshifts are fast and not jerky. I did service the gearbox though (oil, filter, Mechatronic Sleeves, valve body etc) your mileage may vary. It's definitely better than stock, just don't think it'll shift like a DCT because it won't. |

As far as quicker shifts in M mode....yes, it shifts quicker. Having fresh fluid, good seals, and new shift solenoids also helps..... |

I installed it maybe 6 months ago, definitely shifts faster up and down! I fully rebuilt my valve body with a zip kit and did the solenoids and seals!
I was slipping gears before and after all that and stage 3 it's shifting great (I think I have some clutch pack wear unfortunately though) I would honestly look into a custom xhp tune I've seen cars with the custom tunes shift much faster plus you can lower the rev limiter a bit to help the motor and trans last longer! Overall though definitely a good choice no downsides so far

I'm not sure I haven't heard much about that or research custom xhp tunes yet! I really want to get one though, I've had multiple people recommend them!
