Response time has improved to a comfortable level.
Not to jumpy.

The main difference is from 3000 rpm's and up.
Huge difference at this point!

Car feels much faster through all the gears.

Feels like there's more torque in sixth which i thought
was lacking before.

It defenitely makes the car much more fun to drive.

Can't wait to get off work and drive some more.

I bought one a year+ ago, installed it and caused an engine malfunction... returned it.. then used that money to buy a code reset tool to fix the engine malfunction... just didn't work out for me... FYI

I believe my car's responsiveness is quite satisfactory....just press the right-black pedal to the floor and off it goes!

Did it cause the malfunction right away or after a while?

Immediately... I uninstalled it, tried again, same result.... However, there are so many users of the product on this forum that have had great success. And, even if it doesn't work out, they do take it back for a full refund. No worries.

Edit: I now see that you already have one... but it's still good advice for others who don't and read this thread... my bad.

I think they're referring if it is a mode of the automatic transmission of sorts. Some sort of sport capability.
