I would like to modify the shifting to give the trans a sharper shift. Several years ago, I had a shift kit installed in my 1969 Torino (C6 trans). It improved the shifting greatly. Is anything out there for my 2006? Thanks.

I love that. I bet the first time Lidio heard that on the phone, he was like what the hell.

You can read more about the X-cal 2 here:

The shift points can easily be vastly improved with a programmed tune using a device such as an XCal2. This can do much more than improving shifting, but that is one of the things it will take care of. A huge difference is noticed this way. My personal preference is Brenspeed.com. You can get the tuner and his preprogrammed tunes for three grades of gas. Should be the first performance mod you do. Most add a cold air intake (CAI) when they do this mod, but it is not required.dhthomas40 said:I have a new 2006 V6 (Southern California Special) with an automatic transmission.
