Default transmission and x cal 2

so i filled up with 93 octane today and loaded the 93 race tune
i have to tell you it is so much more than what i expected
the throttle response is amazing and the shifts are out of this world
i am worried the the shifts at max rpm are almost too strong the wheels chirp a little bit
is this extra shift stiffness really taxing on the transmission or is it in the safe range

methinks it's safe... though, a little hard on your tires [sm=gears.gif]

Really... if you constantly drive your card hard, it's gonna eventually wear something out. But, a spirited jaunt every now and then won't be of much harm.

actually, i know this sounds backwards... but firmer shifts are actually EASIER on the tranny then soft shift... soft shifts mean your slipping the belt...
