Seems to smoke the 1-2 change and 2-3 change if you have that power level and decent street tyres. Even without a lot of throttle. Not a good thing for getting the power down.

That was my observation in a mate's 320 odd rwkw BF typhoon. Also really banged into gear if moving slowly. Have others got more refined shifts at low speeds/light throttle?

Ye I know wat u mean but I'm looking for a quicker shift rather than a harder shift if that makes sense its mostly 1-2 that I feel lets it down,don't get me wrong love the power 11.8 down the 1/4 I was mostly wanting this tune for the strip and drive on the standard one everyday

A ZF tune with 350rwkw will require a new input shaft IMO. I'm still not convinced u need a tune until you near 400rwkw.

Thanks mate. They now have new stronger input shafts so if u ever want more power which u will if your anything like me then your car will be set up. No reason why u wont run a low 11 or high 10 with small turbo on E85. U will fn luv it. Boys at Nizpro do awesome tunes. Btw may also want to consider a strengthened tails haft if your going to drag it.

Ye I can't get enough of the power I think il be looking for more in the future. And the tailshaft was a main concern of mine so I got it changed to a heavy duty one about a month ago just for peace of mind

It's more about who does the ZF tune for you, then than the fact of getting one done!
