Well I bought my Xcal3 at a local shop, as it turned out they don't hand out preprogrammed units, they load a tune for you based on what you've got. Actually I suspect what they gave me was a warmed over SCT tune compensated for the 3000 foot elevation, it was better than Hypertech but not stellar, shifting didn't really improve any. Over that the Bama tune improvement was quite evident, the shifts happen in a split second which may have something to do with why low end torque feels stronger. Overall I'm very glad I tried it. And for $50 why not?

its all about where the automatic has you when you go to hit the gas... when you read this.. go out in your car and slam the gas while in drive at 45 mph and i bet you your car is gonna pick up QUICK but then try it again at 55 mph and its gonna be sluggish
I actually notice it most often when I'm making a right turn at an intersection, I slow to a coast to check traffic and then hit the gas again but the car won't react right away, it's a dog for a few seconds then it picks up again.

I'll have to try that myself but i doubt its because of the right turn itself, it's probably just how fast your going when you hit the gas at those right turns
