VERY quick and breaks the tires lose. The 2-3 shift is still a smooth snap, but not as smooth as the 1-2 shift... it's more of a bang. When compared to the 2-3 shift of Don's VB, Don's VB is a HARD HARD bang. At partial throttle AND WOT. 2)How about at partial throttle are they both the same At partial throttle, (less than 4K rpm), they are the same. My 1-2 shift is a bang, just as my 2-3 shift is. But if I stretch my first gear until 4500 or so, it's a VERY smooth SNAP that's instant. It's no longer a bang. And from 4.5K to 6.7K, it's a smooth snap. Which I love. With Don's VB, everything was a harsh bang. 3)Are either one (1-2 or 2-3) significantly different than the other at either WOT or partial throttle I'd say at WOT, both shifts are equally as quick. But the 2-3 shift seems to be more of a bang and the 1-2 shift seems to be more smooth INSTANT. You know what I mean? (YA MEAN?).... haha. Ok, to conclude, I've only felt what Don's VB 2-3 shift feels like. He screwed up the 1-2 shift so bad, that it took (NO JOKE), 3 FULL seconds to shift at WOT. Just imagine that for a second... I'll wait. ..... ..... Ok, now you know how serious it was and how bad my plates were slipping. Now my Don's VB 2-3 shift was a FULL BANG! It was instant, but geez... very hard bang. Partial and full throttle was the same bang. I hope this helps. Please ask more questions if you have them. :) : Couple questions concerning your Max Tuning VB : 1)At WOT does your 1-2 and 2-3 upshift change with the same about of force/quickness : 2)How about at partial throttle are they both the same : 3)Are either one (1-2 or 2-3) significantly different than the other at either WOT or partial throttle : Ever since I had my Mobiltek VB I've always notice a difference, and it just dawned upon my to ask others to see what they have. : With my VB I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my 2-3 WOT upshift, it gives me a nice head jerk every single time. But my 1-2 WOT coulb be a little better, even though there's an improvement over the stock VB I just wish my 1-2 WOT upshift was just like my 2-3 : But there's always a flip side. During city driving at light throttle I prefer my 1-2 upshift over my 2-3. The 2-3 upshift can at times be a little annoying, especially if I'm driving with someone new in my car. : If I had to choose I would prefer my 1-2 upshift to be has hard and quick like the 2-3 upshift regardless of throttle position. At that point the car would be absolutely annoying driving in the city but I'll just have to get use to it, LOL : So this leads me to another topic. I remember way back when Don was talking about when he did his VB and how much total AFT he used because he always had to drop his VB trying to find that perfect spring combination. One of these days in the FAR future I think I'm gonna tackle this mod to see if I can try different spring tensions to alter the shifting charcteristics : Doesn't Max Tuning offer different levels of VB tuning, what are those levels and which one did you get. We all know you were totally satisfied with MaxTun VB but do you wish you would have took the next level up? : I did say sorry for hi-jacking your post, right?
