I'm not sure about 96's but I don't think there is a computer for them
yet. The only shift point I notice (I haven't paid real close
attention) is from 1st to 2nd. 1st last a little longer, but not much.
The changes are subtle, kinda hard to put your finger on. Performance
in mid to upper RPM is a little better than with the stock computer.
Also, I don't know if this is in my head or something, but the engine
kinda sounds different in the mid to upper RPM's like when passing a
car. It sounds a little more aggressive to me. Overdrive is the same
as far as I can tell, still kicks in at about 40 mph. As for the old
redline, I can't say yet. When I'm close to the red my eyes are usually
on the road instead of the tach :)
