The up shift speed is mostly from the TCU and valve body ! The v5 tune helps with down shifts but the VB/TCU totally changed the up shifts. One of the most under rated mods for this car it's an amazing upgrade by weistec. Not many ppl run it and I don't know why the trans is one of the weak points on this car with slow response. Weistec upgrades the valve body to apply more pressure faster to the clutch packs and then tunes the TCU to work with it. The response of paddle also got considerably better while the speeds of the shifts are blazing ! Could not recommend it more .. It will also extend the life of the trans while allowing you to hold more power

Thanks appreciate the kind words ! Your help with the head lights is much appreciated they are still working great on the car big upgrade from the terrible halogen reflectors. I will be keeping this car until the wheels fall off. I've had great opportunities to get behind the wheel of some amazing cars like murcielago, stingray, FBO E85 gtr, supercharged m3 etc etc. Just something about this car can't exactly put my finger on it but it just pushes all the right buttons

Thanks x6 !!!! The rev limiter increase is great and id recommend it Aslong as you have headers. The car still pulls great up in the rev range but the best part is after up shifts the car will only drop to 5700 rpm now instead of 51-5200 rpm and is in the sweet spot. No parts of the valve train were upgraded but this motor is a beast and has taken everything I've thrown at it gladly.

Review: Will give a quick breakdown of parts with my thoughts
Combo of Renntech TB, AP Exhaust, Revozport "Scoops", Carbonio Intake Boxes and V5 tune with 7800 RPM redline
- Amazing ! This car was already a N/A beast with a great powerband all around. These mods improved throttle response significantly you breathe on the loud pedal and it just barks & takes off. Mid range has good noticeable improvements and you can feel the extra force pushing you back. Top End is where these all shine its on another level now in terms of F U pull on the highway never letting off and sending the speedo into over drive. The sounds is also incredible thanks mostly to the open valves of the AP + All the extra air being fed into the car the snap crackle and pops are insane. Throttle blips with V5 and this exhaust/header combo are down right scary will try to post vids in the coming days waiting on my gopro.
Weistec Valve Body/ TCU
Great very under estimated modification I haven't seen anyone else run this besides JRCart in his C63 BS. The MCT already has great upshift speeds but this noticeably improves them while giving that great feeling of a little kick while shifting. Also helps improve the lift of the trans as there isn't much clutch slip during shifts it just bangs them out. Downshifts with the V5 and this are amazing perfectly matched. The TCU updates also improves the slow response of paddles shifts to a degree. Still not a DCT in terms of response but ill take this + ability to hold almost 800 WHP stock anyday over a made out of glass m3 DCT
SpeedDriven Billet Pan -
Very impressed with the quality of this pan its a beautiful piece of machinery. Harry from Bergen Imports also agreed on the quality and said the fitment was spot on. The pan holds a bit over 1 quart more trans fluid than the stock pan and also has exterior cooling fins that help keep trans temps down. The combo of this plus my Black Series Coolers should keep temps in check through anything ill put it through and ive beat on it through some hot/humid conditions. The pan also has internal baffles to keep it from sloshing around
Toyo R888 -
Don't have to dig into these to much im sure most of you know & if not their are plenty of reviews on the web. Velcro Grip !!
Renntech CF Strut Bar -
Looks great in the engine bay next to the CF Intakes & Great Quality as expected from TUV Certified Renntech. I cant really pin point any specific gains in handling due to the r888's taking the lions share of credit. One thing I did notice was better steering response you move the steering wheel and the car just darts no pause or hesitation. That can also be partly attributed to the rock hard r888 side walls
Cosmetic:
Will just say all the parts were great quality & obviously I think they look great since I paid to have them installed LOL you guys can decide for yourself
Great reviews!!! Car is a gem for sure
