Huge difference. fast and firm shifts without hesitation and more midrange power. Torque converter doesn't slip as much that makes driveability much better. I'm in ft myers at Scanlon Acura if you want a test drive. Just ask for Joey. I have the black MM as the blue MM belongs to the service writer at Acura and the red MM belongs to Carfixer at L/M store.

I agree the tuner is probably the best mod to do first - I can't wait to get one!! Next, I'd say the 4.10 gearset - and you'll need the tuner to recalibrate everything after the gear swap. Of course, in a perfect world, our first mod would be the DR or Trilogy blower setup :up:
