Sure I lost the ridiculous giddy up that 700whp brings with those monster down shifts but it comes back once it's fully engaged into gear. This and the clamping pressure alone make this worth buying and I am going to beat myself up for not doing it sooner. I also decided to go to stock shift maps and the car feels so much more drivable. Not sure why I slept on this option as well. Two little adjustments and it's a whole new driving experience.

What torque reduction / punch / shift map settings are ya'll using?
I'm using 900 torque reduction, 6 torque punch (haven't tried a higher setting on either yet), and the shifts are much quicker than stock. Feels close to PDK. Stock power/tune.
