Def better and stronger shifts but people after getting this tune done are breaking there box with in a few days and some cases runnIng their cars up On the dyno.

I guess maybe they test out the shifts on the dyno then go back and alter settings like they have to do with the engine tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like you nail it in first on the rollers. Most shops are getting their heads around it. The numbers given initially were are starting point. Mine went back twice before I got it exactly as I wanted. It is awesome now - no way would I go back to a sludgy stock shift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that most need adjusting to get 100% right - mine did - I doubt a 'generic' tune would be very good.
