Maybe I'm the only one? I've had it so long that I just take it for granted. I do recall being
very happy when I got it done (almost 3 yrs ago). It shifts pretty quick without being jerky. Works well with Giac s-chip.

I had it
No longer have it due to the fact that it brought back the dreaded 45 mph wobble on my '01 ar. Can't say I miss it all that much. There is an improvement in shift time but not incredible. I got it in tandem with a GIAC ECU chip.

It depends on who you want to believe. This is what I know...
When I got the tip chip, I was assured by Tony Ricci, owner of Pes-Tuning, and very good buddy of Garrett Lim(Giac), that it WILL work in D. Now I read posts (maybe yours) that it only works in tip mode-- according to Giac USA. This is pretty hard to argue with.
I don't know. If you ask me, I would swear it speeds up shifts in D.

Talked with 2 dealers today and they said the same thing. It is
most noticable in tip mode when driving hard. But also quicker in D.
They recomend it and said it is a must if you also do a engine chip!
