Hey guys, i just got an additional RPI/ESS smg tune during the pre-mfest meet. this new tune is freaking insane! Currently my car is coupled with the RPi/ESS tune along with the SMG Tune. Basically the new tune cuts the shifting time by nearly half!!! :wow:

the launch control is moved up from 1500rpm to 4000rpm, like the european models. the shift points are moved up as well. when the car is in M mode and S5 or S6 is selected the SMG shifts twice as fast as before, especially when shifting at red line.

before the RPi/ESS smg tune, the trans would hesitate slightly. now the shifts are much crisper and quicker. the car feels totally different. The car is much quicker above speeds of 80mph and above. I would love to compare it out the car against the standard RPi/ESS tune....dennis?
