I appreciate the info, however, I questioned them via e-mail on several
occassions and was informed they do nothing with the shift points. For
$500, it better wash & wax itself too...

take a peek at http://www.zracer.com/images/optimizer.jpg Its the optimizer
page out of kenne bells catalog. In the first paragraph it mentions the
transmission but does not go into detail on what it does with the
transmission.

I think I read somewhere that our trannies are shifted by mechanical
controls
in the first 3 gears and electronically only for the torque converter
lock-up
and overdrive. If this is true(?) the computer could not help much anyway.
