Yep, would never go back to stock. Took about 3 goes to get it right but I'm a fussy bastard. One thing though, you probably won't totally eliminate the gear hold. Mine is much better but it still doesn't totally like it when you give it a quick stab, then back off slowly when going down slight hills. It prefers to get ready for the canning and hang on, lol.

Other than that, the rapid fire in performance mode or better, manual mode, is awesome.

ive swapped between stock tuned and tuned v2.0 that I have several times

I put the car back to stock and im happy drives really nice farts shifts great, but its very un responsive

I put the tuned ZF file back in it, I notice much firmer upshifts (the missus does not) but its far more responsive, lighter throttle applications needed, almost feels like there is better throttle response...

to be honest I need to get it on the strip to see how it handles wot at full boost with full traction, because on the street its spin city, and I rarely go fast enough to repeat that at the 2-3 3-4 change

over all im pretty happy with it, most improved is I can now come to a stop under light braking and there is no more lurch, or confusion on light slow take off, and no pause on gear shifts.... well you'd probably not notice the factory pause on gear shifts untill your tuned

im interested to know if any further development has been done, I think there a few more things that can be achieved, or have herrod now abandoned it and focused on the S/C

when you say pause do you mean the gear hold say 2-3 if you lift off a bit? If I mash the throttle - no problems. It's only when I lift a bit and like I said go over a crest or something that it gets a bit undecided. Might go back for a tweak again, lol.

That's what worries me about getting mine done...traction loss will be plain silly on a daily driver. I like to give it a stab but it sounds like if I give it a decent hit, like half throttle, it's going to light up the rears. It's bad enough at the moment! That and the hard bang at slow speed changes up gears which I felt in another member's car.
