- Again, sound has nice overrun, somehow more backfiring, and a nice pop -> power cut on upshifts. Can't stress enough how good it sounds, especially with my cutouts open.
- better at on-throttle downshifts
- Still decent comfort in bumper-to-bumper traffic
- faster to switch between reverse and drive
- Makes gear shifts feel like more of an event than the GTS / CRT tunes.

Performance gains of the GTS / CRT are pretty negligible, and I almost never use launch control. If you're thinking about getting a transmission tune done, my vote is for this one, having tried out all 4 recently.

Shadow, I'm curious about your thoughts if you ever get a chance to flash this one.
Cheers Chocstraw. Curious on what you mean by "nice sound" at upshift, is that the "thump" at moderate throttle going 1-2-3 gear?
Is 7847869 confirmed to be the EU OEM tune or could this be something else?
