I played a lot with the settings to make it smoother but still have quick shifts and it just didn't improve much. I'm going to try the CS flash as soon as we get some good weather.
I had xHP stage 2 running on my Supra and it was the best mod I've done to it, not sure why it so harsh on the G8x platform
That’s exactly the type of feedback I was looking for
Thank you!

At this point xHP should be reserved for high hp tuned cars to compensate with the power as it gives a lot of adjustability, removing torque limiters, optimizing shift points, Launch control etc.

For stock or lightly modded cars, I think CS is the way to go. I wish I could get my money back from them. Really disappointing!

I am going to put Racechip on her but I’m not going to go to the dragstrip or track it.
Might fuck up a corvette on the way home from grocery shopping lol

XHP is def going to give you faster shifts especially on stage 3 which is what I’ve had my car running for almost a year now. Also, if you have a piggyback or plan on flashing to increase power your going to really need xHP to remove the torque limiter or your going to get engine power cuts. My car was cutting power even at stock especially shifting 1-2 or 2-3 under full throttle in the summer when I actually could get the grip to do that. The problem gets exacerbated once you start boosting the engine up. Just having the snappy shifts alone and the nice crisps down shifts with way better than stock rev matching is worth it but to get rid of the torque limiter is a must IMO. The app also lets you customize a lot of things like allowing brake boosting, adjusting launch control settings, gear shift points when in full auto and a ton more and it’s easy to use. Really no comparison.
