You have to realize that there are very few tuners that sell SCT on this site. Other sites have more info on the FULL array of tuners available. It is a big investment, do your homework BEFORE you buy! You will be glad you did!
SCT and Superchips both run the shifting up past 4,000 RPM.
These are the ONLY two companies doing this.

Others can adjust firmness, but no one else is really screwing with shift points and t/c lockup.

Hi Vic: All the posts I've read talk about auto shift points. Do the tuners work with 6 spds? What do you recomend for a 6 spd? Thanks. Blair

SCMT is awesome with the 6 speed because the engine makes power so much longer. (Inline devices can NOT do this)

You can shift well in excess of 4000 RPM and still be making power.
You also have enough low end torque to start in a higher gear.

This means less shifting and more driving fun =o)
