Is this butt dyno, or is this verifiable?
reason I ask is that I would assume you disconnected the battery to do this, which resets the shift program.
I doubt these mods would cause faster downshifts, and therefore, I'm thinking any perceived performance gains are more the result of the computer reset than anything else.
fwiw, I ported and polished the intake manifold on my 4.6L DOHC V8 mustang, and only gained about 10rwhp.
