Mike, I've been lurking and very interested in your tuner. A little disappointed that you can improve so much over stock. Good for you as you obviously know what you are doing, but I'm surprised that the Ford engineers couldn't do better.

The recent questions have covered some I had, but would you mind addressing wear and tear? What I mean by that is I read your shift strategies change the shift points, and that makes sense. I even like the recent suggestion to shift the 6th gear shift down to 51mph. That too makes sense as I compare my driving around Kodiak which doesn't get about 55mph very often. The wear and tear I'm wondering about comes from hearing the shift speed. Sounds like you create a snappier shift, which in my mind could create harder stress on the drivetrain.

I'd like to hear how you balance performance and keep from causing a potential increase in drivetrain failures. Thanks.
