Default the tip chip doesn't address this...

I found that it only did it in tip mode but if the car was in D it was fine.

You are talking about the hunting around 4500rpm in 5th right?

Default there's no way of preventing it?? also.....

when you are racing, you are in tip, when is the best time to shift for optimal performance of the turbos?

Default I believe there was a different chip to address the hunting but...

then it didn't shorten the shift times.

My experience is to leave the car in D for the fastest dragslips.
