If any other automatic owner with an OFT wants to try this out, just PM me with your email, ROM ID, and preferred tune, and I'll send you the tune with my modifications added to it.

I drive a manual and it would be helpful at the track.
Last track day I noticed it's very touchy at high RPMs (almost like an on/off switch), so when going around a long turn or coming out of one it's a bit jumpy when barely touching the throttle.

It's more responsive because it's in the power band, working as intended.

It's the exhaust cones.

So whats your latest map ?
