Default Software Upgrade for IS350 Tranny?

I been doing some searching on the forum, but I had no luck on finding this answer. I sat in my friend's Audi A3 yesterday and he was telling me how he got a software upgrade and it made a world of difference in shifting speed, and he is right. There was barely any lag in between shifts. Are there any software or hardware upgrade so we can save some time between shifts? Thanks in advance!

There are not any software programs to speed up shifting, but I do know of a company that might be able to help. The specialize in hardware upgrades. Be ready to pay for it though.... $$$$$

Interesting. If only we could do a valve body mod, we could be just a little bit faster lol.

It won't make you any faster, just a more firm shift. An electronic upgrade is the only way to speed up the shifts
