A street tune... Pretty much one that will up my line pressure for firmer shifts, give me a little bit more horsepower, and get me a few more mpg

Sounds like what Im looking at for the most part. Id like a custom tune but having the ability to adjust it myself is also really appealing.

I like how you can change shift rpm and mph. Id like my trans to be able to shift down to 1st also. Seems most of the time it'll only go to 2nd
