Default software or hardware to change the transmission shift points

I am searching for software or hardware to change the transmission shift points of 2002 SC430 so that it upshifts at a higher rpm and downshifts sooner. I would appreciate any help.

Shift it manually. It's tons more fun.

...and select the PWR setting (on the center console)
for a more torquey and quick ride.

one company in Taiwan claims they can modify Lexus cars using something called MAPC.

Got it. You used Babelfish to translate the first link's language.

The language you should use is traditional Chinese (Taiwan).
Someone will import the MAPC sooner or later if it really does wonders.
