I bought a unit from them a short time ago. It does exactly what it's supposed to do accept I couldn't get used to the change in when the downshifts occur when in the auto modes.
If you're interested, I would be willing to send you mine so you can check if you like it. If you want to keep it just send me $100. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks,
Mark

it works awsome i have been testing different ones for about a year now. the car will shift properly and quicker no dips in power on shifts. for myself my car was way out of sorts with the available at the time tcu tunes i have 306 gear and stall in my car. It would hang on shifts all kind of stuff. the 2nd tune i tried at the track i beat my stock pulley, record and went 11.25 at 122mph. You wont be disappointed with the tcu tune. 2 to 3 tenths and more consistent if you run at the track.

Sounds great and thanks for the input. Did you retrofit the shifter button with paddles? So I'm completely understanding, you can have a silky smooth shifting or go "boy racer" in manual mode?
