I know it has been discussed by several, vegasS4, VRlife, Cole, but I haven't heard if anyone had any luck.

Default Has anyone contacted GIAC or APR about this...
I just had my L10 TC installed. I like the way it drives, but w/S3 power the shifts are to slow.

Default Valve body upgrades make it shift faster/harder, but I am concerned about shift points...
and downshift behavior.

Default I wasn't planning on a valvebody, but now......
After I took it out and shifted at full throttle, I can see I need something. Big delay during shifts. I have a Tip Chip.

Default It isn't smooth, especially downshifts. I like it like that for spirited driving, but it sucks when
Granny is in the car.
