My FIRST impressions:

1.- Acceleration definitely feels better

2.- I have 8speed auto, hard acceleration in manual mode is scarily aggressive!

3.- I think this box frees the gearbox because in manual mode if I don't shift, the car no longer autoshifts when reaching above the red line. I will need to be careful from now on when in manual.

4.- I have been using ScanGauge II since December, in full acceleration, the higher number I've got in the HP gauge was 332hp (of course, crank HP), tonight I got 390HP in my best run (RaceChip website claims increase to 379HP). Sadly no GoPro to record a video but I have a picture (just one decent with one hand on the iphone) while I was doing these runs and you can see that the number at that moment was 369HP and I wasn't finished reaching to the max rpms

Thanks chaddy74 and Delnari for helping me out to find out where the two connectors had to be placed!

Installation was plug and play, no CEL / ECU errors at all. I think I found a nice location for the box too

I will try to keep the updates going, hope to go to the dyno soon to see about WHP rather than just crank HP.
