I don't see the point of this mod. Know your limitations. If you cannot afford to overhaul every few years don't be powershifting all over the place. If you want a powershift then powershift. Nobody is going to argue Tephra's capabilities, but this was just one issue that didn't need fixing IMHO.

I agree, I tried it but it slowed me down and caused more missed shifts...admittedly I didn't' spend much time adjusting the settings. Seems I was waiting what seemed like forever for the power to return after a shift.

I hate the 'man up' and free rev your engine response. I feel its a feature that is useful and has earned its merit by more people than those who 'can't figure it out'. Its an option, one that can be ignored if you choose not to use it. It works, been proven time and again to gain improvements for the average guy who can't make a ton of passes at a track to learn how to do it the old school way. Its much safer on the car than the old school way IMO, though not as efficient as the old school way,admittedly.

I played with this but it was causing shift knock. I have not had the chance to tune it out so I turned nlts off. I can shift just as fast lifting anyway, although this feature is very nice when using a larger turbo. I use it w/DSMLink in my Talon and it helped my ET quite a bit.

I disabled it after I had a glitch with it... basically it was enabling NLTS on its own (as in the throttle plate was closing) without depressing the clutch at 7000 rpm, scared the **** outta me as it was at the track... I don't ride the clutch either

It looked as if it was as it was going back into vaccuum on its own and the timing was increased to +36 according to the logs... I may try it again pretty soon, I just got done with a bunch of new stuff with the car and need to retune, and I only have to change a blobitt anyway...

I bet you $50 you were touching the clutch pedal with your left foot, i.e. common problem #1 in my post. Most people tell me there is no way in hell they were and then I tell them to do whatever they just did again, and their foot is hovering right over the pedal, and sometimes even touching it. Try adjusting the switch like tephra suggested above.

nice thread as always guys
never tried it but i think i a need to.
dont know what is all the fuss with respect to damaging the 6 speed gearbox? from my perspective this should reduce " the banging" effect when lifting shifting....
guess my thoughts are off?
