If it's the 04 6.0 as in your profile, yes, it'll shift a little harder but if you don't have studs installed in your heads, you're gonna blow something running a high performance tune! Did you have custom tunes written or are the tunes the standard ones that came with the SCT?

The harder shift sounds normal. And I'm not sure about the performance mode. Who set the programmer up for you? I haven't heard of Mike from 5 star doing a "performance mode", but hopefully someone who knows more puts their two cents in soon

The canned SCT Street and Performance tunes are very mild, they won't hurt anything.
I get the best MPG with the Street tune. Have never tried the Tow tune. The Performance tune is pretty good, but at that point might as well go with a custom tune.
I have a couple from Vivian with one that is stock head bolts safe that will make ya crap your pants.
Many here like Matt @ Gearheads.
My daily driver is the "Street" tune BTW
