    The goofy OEM trans management was much worse with additional power....SCT just uses the OEM stuff and increases line pressure I guess!!

    Steve was able to transform it into what we had in the Diablo tune and it suits me perfectly.......gonna drive it awhile and see if the adaptive learning changes anything??

    Now, if/when the weather clears up I can drive it some and see what happens!!

    Drove it 45 miles today and with our cool air and cold tires I cannot go WOT....SCARY powerful and spins like nuts!!

    The 295 Nittos out back are over 2 years old and have about half the tread left but have NO GRIP!!

    Other than that it has outstanding street manners!!

    Thanks for all the well wishes!!

    Took a 140 mile round trip on I-95 yesterday and made several high speed accelerations!! Transitions from TC unlock and downshifts to 3rd gear were smooth and predictable....acceleration in 3rd was amazing....very smooth and strong motor so far.....HAPPY!!

    First (500 "smile") oil change today!!
