I noticed a significant improvement with shifting after I got the flashpaq. It could also be because I use the premium 91 octane tune with 93 octane fuel (which is only $2.15/gallon now where I live). I also moved the shift points up about 150 rpm and raised the rev limiter, so when it does shift, it hits the powerband and has a jerk of acceleration. If you are in doubt, find a person in your area that has the flashpaq and test it out for a day. Then if it is worth it to you, buy it.

Lets remember we are driving a truck, not a sports car. The tranny is designed to shift like this so when you are hauling 1500 pounds, or pulling 6000 pounds you do not rip the tranny apart.

so very true.

ummm yea they do. By power band he means where the truck makes its best power for example my jeep wrangler makes its best power centered at 2500 rpms. If i hit the gas lower than that it just bogs or higher than that I just get more rpms not much go.
