kind of,
I was mainly talking about the downshift of the normal mode map but yes I also like to change the normal mode upshift map into a kind of a hybrid betwen the normal and power mode map.

What you suggest about the 2 to 1 downshift sounds interesting. I drive with the power button on nearly all the time. But I have noticed that when pulling away from a slow roll, it is often better to be in 2nd than 1st. The engine has plenty of torque available. Is that what you are talking about?
I have done a mod for the UK models to change the econ mode switch to a power mode switch. A few people have that now but nobody has tested it yet.
Other than that, I've been talking to a guy about doing one optimised for cars with the 4.44 or 4.11 diff swap. Somebody else is talking about swapping the internal gears in their box and wants a custom TCU for that. But I'm not working on either of these things yet.
I am planning to do a version of the USDM TCU that doesn't require signals from the ECU. It can be used with the standalone ECU that Tom is working on.
I do want to try the paddleshift code just to see it working. I wouldn't want to keep it on my car permanently.
