+100.

Hey buffy, I'm literally going to send out mine tomorrow. But I'm kind of disappointed that there will be no "M" mode. Are the shifts in "S" and "C" at least faster? Any other changes like shift points (at red line and part throttle)?

Buffy, what were you're times when you were spraying? I remember seeing an underwood pic and seeing the solenoids, I think I remember you saying you have since pulled the system.
