Do any of the ECU tunes address slow shifting?

I know this isn't a dual clutch design, but it seems like the shifting could be a bit quicker and a huge weakness of this car. Do any of the tunes address this along with the HP/torque?

Sorry for all the questions

ECU is for HP/Torque, TCU is for addressing the shifting points, and yes TCU tune is worth it, should go along with an ECU tune

My TCU tune raised shift points ,higher engine RPM ,shift was the same,I don't know how long trans would last if it was banging gears every shift
