The Trifecta transmission tune has improved it some, but I'd like a more "instant" reaction.

After driving a manaul for 5 years and 2 of which have been daily I can never get used to the way an automatic down shifts. At this point I feel strange driving an automatic.

The other day I was in my dads Silverado and since it has the AFM tech it decided to swith to V8 mode while I was parking and the switch at low speeds made it feel like the car was going to stall out. Out of habit I almost pushed in the ebrake pedeal thinking it was a clutch lol

Does anyone else think that almost all v6 exhaust videos sound the same?

somewhat yes, but then again what people use to record our exhausts arent the greatest recording devices at least imo..

Also dont think my LLT is a lost cause, couldn't be happier with my setup.

Very true. I'd be happy with fi too, just don't have the money to throw at it

And I don't know if I would

Well, you drag race your car more than me, but doesnt seem like you would spend the money on FI if you had it but thats just my opinion. You could, idk. But i would suggest riding with someone that has an IPF kit if you were the slight bit interested... i know member "black knight" is in Texas and is about to install his IPF kit so maybe he can give you a ride one day..but be sure to bring an extra change of pants, i forgot to when i first drove my car after the install

Are you sure the exhaust vids you are watching, are of manuals or autos? Autos rev to 4k, manuals can redline...

As of right it doesn't look like I will be able to make the fest. The spring schedule was posted and my exam week is till the 3rd. But who knows I might get lucky and have all my exams finish on Thursday morning. Guess I will find out in like February
