It's a deal. Do I get the warranty? Tell me what you want prepaid freight.

I'm getting excited. My car is to be delivered mid august. Then one month break-in. I can't wait. What does transgo do that the tuning doesn't? Does Ed Wright take transgo into consideration when he sets shift points and firmness?

This is what I think I know about Transgo.
It's a safer way to firm up shifts than just tuning.
It quickens both wot and pt shifts and there is no choice to do one only.

Does it quicken shifts?
Can I firm and quicken part throttle shifts slightly and use tuning to go more at wot?
Did I miss anything?
