Default Shift update for 2007 Paddle Shift?

Is there a shift update/kit to improve the shift points in the 2007 Corvette with paddle shift?

A few things you can do. You can find a tuner who knows A6 transmissions and he or she can give you the new 2008 transmission programming with a little twig on the shift timing and torque managament this will give you much improvment.

If you feel manly enough, do what I did. I will let you know how it went at the end of the week hopefully.

Thanks for all the info. Now then, is there a good tuner in the Chicago area?

What I did just today (with my HP Tuners) is compare the transmission part of my tune (I have an 07) with a stock 08 and then just updated the changed values. My car's heavily modified so I didn't really notice the differences but I'm guessing that they probably are there.

I can give you the specifics of what exactly was changed in 08 if you'd like.

ECS has a tune mod for it and I think they can do it via mail in.
